Biophan to Exhibit at Medical Design Meeting; Company to Highlight Advanced Technologies for MRI Safety to Medical Device Designers and Manufacturers.


ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
: BIPH BIPH Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (National Academy of Sciences; Ukraine) ), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, today announced that it will be attending and exhibiting at the Medical Design and Manufacturing show, MD&M West, at the Anaheim Convention Center Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities.  in Anaheim, California on January 10 through 12, 2005.

Biophan will highlight advanced technologies at the show, including the MRI-safe ceramic motor, designed for devices such as implantable drug pumps, as well as Biophan's technologies for enabling virtually any interventional device or implant to be made MRI-safe and compatible. Biophan's patented anti-antenna technology to enable device safety will also be featured at the show.

Biophan will be demonstrating its patented and patent pending, ready-to-ship solutions:

--MRI safe lead solutions for pacemakers, defibrillators, spinal pain devices, neurostimulators, and other implanted medical devices (both the Johns Hopkins patented RF filter and the Biophan patented anti-antenna solutions) http://www.biophan.com/shielding.php
