Innovotech Inc. (TSXV:IOT), is pleased to report that it has received Notice of Allowance of a US patent (14/415,666) for its silver compounds, including InnovoSIL(TM)-1 and AgreGuard(TM)-1, which have broad activity against pathogens causing both bacterial and fungal infections.\n\n \n \nBiofilms are organized communities of microorganisms that are notoriously difficult to eradicate. The Innovotech silver compounds have been shown to be very effective on biofilms associated with human, animal or plant infections. \n\n \n \nInnovoSIL(TM)-1 and AgreGuard(TM)-1 have unusual stability in certain gels and are able to demonstrate a slow release, offering sustained antimicrobial activity. They have multiple mechanisms of action, and so it is more difficult for resistance to develop.\n\n \n \nThese compounds, in combination with gels, can bring valuable antimicrobial properties as coatings of surfaces or various medical, surgical, and wound devices; or could be used for direct application to infected skin, leaves or seeds.\n\n \n \nInnovotech is actively seeking established industry partners interested in enhancing their products through the use of these outstanding products.\n\n \n \nDr. James Timourian\n\n\n \nPresident\n\n\n \nINNOVOTECH INC.\n\n\n \n780.448.0585\n\n \n \n This document may contain forward-looking statements that are predictive in nature and subject to risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified; consequently, actual results may differ materially from past results and those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
