MedX Granted Additional US and Australian Patents For the Use of Light to Visualize Structures Within Skin

MedX Has a Broad International Portfolio of Granted Patents (17) and Many Patents Pending (23)

Patented Technology Applicable In Burn and Wound Care Markets

MISSISSAUGA, ON, April 19, 2012 /CNW/ - MedX Health Corp., (TSXV.MDX) a global leader in drug free, non-invasive low level laser light therapy and light imaging systems, announced that MedX Health Corporation has been granted two (2) new patents, expanding the broad International portfolio to seventeen (17) granted patents, with another twenty-three (23) patents pending.  US patent #8,145,294 and Australian patent #2006220441 are Image Processing Method and Apparatus patents.  Both patents focus on the use of light to capture images within the skin from a distance using a digital camera or similar device.  The technology is called 'non-contact' siascopy.  In contrast, 'contact siascopy,' which is used in the current MedX Health skin cancer imaging patented product, MoleMate, creates images of structures under the skin while resting lightly on the skin, via an 'optical biopsy.'

The non-contact patented technology allows a device to gather information on large sections of skin to analyze the surface and 2mm below the surface providing information on the general health of the skin, or a dermatological condition, or the extent of damage to the skin.  This technology will be important in the future for evaluating burn patients to quickly determine if they need a skin graft or if less costly dressings are the best course of treatment.  Additionally the non-contact version of this technology will be used to evaluate wounds to determine if they are healing properly and responding to the prescribed treatment.

"At MedX Health we believe that intellectual property, especially patents, represent an opportunity to derive new sources of revenues and profits and we will continue to seek out partners and the resources to help us capitalize on these opportunities," said Steve Guillen, President & CEO.

Burn and Wound Assessment Imaging

The worldwide advanced wound care market (burns, diabetic foot ulcers and bed sores) is estimated at $5 Billion (Global Industry Analysts, Inc.) and the market potential using the MedX platform technology may be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Corporate Partners

Proctor & Gamble, LenioMed Ltd., and ScreenCancer, Inc., are research and commercial partners that are funding the expansion of the underlying technology, into new consumer and wound care markets.
