 company with laboratories in Lewiston, New York Lewiston is a village in Niagara County, New York, USA. The population was 2,781 at the 2000 census. The village is named after Morgan Lewis, a governor of New York.

The Village of Lewiston is within the Town of Lewiston. The Earl W.
, and a business office in Toronto. LAM focuses on the development and commercialization of novel wound healing and transdermal drug delivery systems that offer patients, among other benefits, safer and more effective treatment for a variety of serious diseases. The technology is based on an original Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology ("IPM"), a proprietary and patented combination (a total of nine U.S. issued patents) of electrically charged and non-charged molecules with wound-healing properties. IPM(TM) technology combines with well-established drugs, allowing for the sustained delivery of greater amounts to the target areas than is otherwise possible and thus prolonging therapeutic activity.

The main ingredient of the Ionic Polymer Matrix(TM) technology is a derivative of hyaluronic acid, a molecule normally found in the skin and joints of bones. Hyaluronic acid is a non-immunogenic (the body does not react to it) and it is involved in such important biological functions as tissue hydration hydration /hy·dra·tion/ (hi-dra´shun) the absorption of or combination with water.

As well, hyaluronic acid is present in high concentration in fetal skin where wound healing is rapid and leaves little scarring.

LAM IPM(TM) Wound Gel is a clear, viscous, aqueous, odorless gel composed principally of sodium hyaluronate hyaluronate /hy·al·uro·nate/ (hi?ah-ldbobr´ro-nat) a salt, anion, or ester of hyaluronic acid. The sodium salt and a derivative of it are used as analgesics in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. , a derivative salt of Hyaluronic acid. LAM IPM(TM) Wound Gel has demonstrated in both human and animal trials to be of significant value in the management of certain skin ulcers and wounds where maintaining a moist environment is supportive of the healing process. In human skin, Hyaluronic acid is involved in such important biological functions as tissue hydration and proteoglycan organization (formation of proteins and sugars).

As of December 31, 2001, LAM had nine issued patents in the United States. LAM IPM(TM) Wound Gel is protected by one or more of the following patents: 5,887,880; 6,120,804; 6,007,843; 6,063,405. All referenced patents have been issued to LAM Pharmaceutical, Corp. by the United States Patent Office and have subsequently been filed on a global basis.

The Company's list of products under development include the following:

LAM IPM(TM) - Post Surgical Gel - the gel matrix is effective in treating pressure sores, post surgical incisions and other wounds. It also may be used for topical ulcers, such as very hard-to-heal diabetic ulcers.

LAM IPM(TM) - Female Sexual Dysfunction Matrix - a product that provides enhanced lubrication lubrication, introduction of a substance between the contact surfaces of moving parts to reduce friction and to dissipate heat. A lubricant may be oil, grease, graphite, or any substance—gas, liquid, semisolid, or solid—that permits free action of  while also allowing the external structures of the female genitalia genitalia /gen·i·ta·lia/ (jen?i-tal´e-ah) [L.] the reproductive organs.
