) systems. The Company is a leader in the development of nanotechnology and other solutions that eliminate safety concerns and image artifact problems that result when certain medical devices are placed within an MRI environment. Biophan's proprietary technologies are designed to enable patients with medical implants such as pacemakers, ICD's and neurostimulators to safely and effectively undergo MRI scanning, and for devices such as stents and vena cava filters Vena Cava Filter Definition

 to be effectively imaged under MRI. The Company's advanced solutions are also enabling the development of solutions for MRI-guided interventional procedures that were never before possible.

Biophan is also marketing a unique MRI-compatible ceramic motor, called the Squiggle See tilde. (TM) that can be used for a number of advanced applications, such as drug pumps. The Squiggle(TM) motor boasts a simplified design and ultra-high precision. Biophan's Nanolution division develops nanotechnologies to enable improved drug delivery and drug elution elution /elu·tion/ (e-loo´shun) in chemistry, separation of material by washing; the process of pulverizing substances and mixing them with water in order to separate the heavier constituents, which settle out in solution, from the  from medical devices.
