: BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. , announced today the online availability of a new "Q&A"-style interview in the respected trade magazine, Medical Design Technology.

The interview highlights the Company's novel nanotechnology-based solutions for safe and image compatible Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures.  (MRI) of medical devices and provides insights into the large global marketplace for these solutions. It also discusses the ways in which the Company's technologies are changing the competitive landscape.

Biophan has developed a wide range of MRI-enabling technologies for pacemakers Pacemakers Definition

A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat.
Purpose

Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia).
, defibrillators, neurostimulators, catheters, guidewires, drug pumps, and other devices. The Company provides its innovations and technologies to medical device manufacturers for incorporation into their product lines. Several of the Company's primary solutions involve nanotechnology and thin film coatings.

Currently, due to serious safety problems, millions of people with pacemakers, neurostimulators, and other devices cannot be exposed to the MRI environment. "We offer competitive advantages to solve problems that can improve the functionality and utility of medical devices for the manufacturers," Mr. Weiner says in the interview. "For example, for a manufacturer to have the first safe pacemaker pacemaker

Source of rhythmic electrical impulses that trigger heart contractions. In the heart's electrical system, impulses generated at a natural pacemaker are conducted to the atria and ventricles.
 is a competitive advantage that can translate into increased market share."

Biophan's mission is to develop technologies to improve medical devices and to bring these technologies to market through strategic partnerships. Biophan recently signed a landmark agreement to license some of its proprietary technologies to global medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific The Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) (abbreviated BSC), is a worldwide developer, manufacturer and marketer of medical devices whose products are used in a range of interventional medical specialties, including interventional cardiology, peripheral interventions,  (NYSE NYSE
