Marketwired
Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: ABMT) (PINKSHEETS:
ABMT), developer and manufacturer of orthopaedic internal fixation
devices, is delighted to announce that the Company has received the
maximum amount of USD 244,479.25 for one grant under the U.S.
Government's Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project, a program
created as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
of 2010. The grant is to support the ongoing development of
bio-absorbable internal fixation devices, the Company's novel
treatment for orthopaedic trauma.
The Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project grants are provided
under new section 48D of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), enacted
as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
(P.L. 111-148). Grants are awarded to projects that show a
reasonable potential to result in new therapies to treat areas of
unmet medical need or prevent, detect or treat chronic or acute
diseases and conditions, reduce the long-term growth of health care
costs in the United States, or significantly advance the goal of
curing cancer within 30 years.
The IRS, in conjunction with the Department of Health and Human
Services, approved applications for projects that showed
significant potential to produce new and cost-saving therapies,
support jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness under the Qualifying
Therapeutic Discovery Project program. Only projects that show a
reasonable potential to meet these goals were certified as eligible
for the credit or grant.
Frank Pelaia, member of the Company's Advisory Board who had
served 33 years as a US Army officer, commented: "Awarding this
grant to Advanced BioMedical Technologies Inc., demonstrates the
importance of the Company's ongoing successful research on human
and animal clinical trials that were conducted. Not only will these
products be helpful for the restoration of quality of life and
speedy recovery of servicemen and women of all nations during world
conflicts, the benefits that will be derived for the rest of
society as a whole will also be significant."
Wang Hui, CEO of the Company, said: "We are pleased that our
Bio-degradable orthopaedic device has qualified for this
recognition. We look forward to reporting the progress of other
similar devices in the near future."
About Advanced Biomedical Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: ABMT)
(PINKSHEETS: ABMT) Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. is a
revolutionary new biotech company. The company's primary product
line includes internal fixation devices consisting of high grade
polymers (polyamide - "PA") which allow the body to degrade the
products during the healing process. During that healing process,
these products also stimulate new bone growth that replaces the
degrading device and leaves newer, stronger bone in the exact
location of the injury; thus making the site of the injury stronger
and more resistant to recurring damage. These products provide an
alternative to metal implants and overcome the limitations of other
re-absorbable fixation devices.
The products and materials that the Company has created differ
from existing products (titanium/stainless steel) being marketed
today by:
- The ability to control the speed that the device degrades;
therefore improving upon the healing time.
- Eliminating the need for a second surgery to replace device due
to infection or other post-operative complications.
- The capability of being evenly absorbed from outer layer
inwards, so that it gives enough restoration time for bone healing
and re-growth.
