FendX Technologies: Reducing The Spread Of Pathogens With Nanotechnology

Investment overview

FendX is backed by Canaccord Capital Markets, one of Canada’s leading global investment banks with healthcare sector expertise. Strong financial backing helps to position FendX to continue to develop its nanotechnology platform (see anticipated catalysts section below). Like many of the companies that MedicalGold covers, FendX is an early-stage company with proof-of-concept technology that is preparing for imminent growth.

With yesterdy's news, FendX announced that it has signed a development stage agreement with Dunmore International Corp., a Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (NYSE:SPLP) operating company, to provide their engineering expertise to scale-up FendX’s REPELWRAP™ film to create intermediate-sized prototype films for testing.

Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO says this is an important milestone as they have successfully completed testing of a lab prototype with McMaster University and are now ready to transfer the process of making REPELWRAP™ film to Dunmore to continue with their prototype development milestones as a first step to assessing and creating an automated manufacturing process.

“We have successfully completed testing a lab prototype with McMaster University and are now ready to transfer the process for making REPELWRAP™ film to Dunmore to continue with our prototype development milestones to create larger versions of REPELWRAP™ film. The engagement of Dunmore is an important milestone for us as this is the first step to assessing and creating an automated manufacturing process.  We look forward to continuing to execute on our scale-up and development milestones with highly experienced collaborators and are excited to work with an experienced manufacturer such as Dunmore. We are committed to the further development and testing of REPELWRAP™ film, with the intention of developing a commercial product. Leveraging our robust patent portfolio and nanotechnology, the Company also plans to research and develop a pipeline of other products to contribute to the global effort to reduce the spread of pathogens.”
