Fixit Medical Ltd Year End Update
The Board of Igraine (AQSE:KING), an investing company focused on breakthrough
innovative technologies and discoveries in the healthcare and life sciences
sectors, is delighted to provide a year-end update on our investment in Fixit
Medical ltd ("Fixit") and its next generation drainage catheter fixation device
(Cingo®).
Further information on Fixit
Fixit is the sole owner, designer, and developer of Cingo®-the next-generation
drainage catheter fixation device. Cingo® is distinguished by its best-in-class
catheter securement with a pull-force dissipating design whilst offering an
estimated two-week wear time. In addition, the revolutionary design prevents
catheters from twisting and kinking along with enhancing visibility and easy
cleaning of the catheter exit site. Additionally, Cingo® features a breakthrough
integral shower-safe feature greatly improving quality of life and dignity for
patients.
Update
Since the announcement of Igraine's investment in February 2023, Fixit has made
significant progress toward the commercialisation of Cingo®. In collaboration
with MDM Management Ltd, the device underwent further development and
refinement, ensuring cost-effective mass production.
During the first 3 months of 2024 we anticipate completing the first run of
injection-moulded prototypes, marking the commencement of comprehensive
laboratory testing.
The Cingo® device is protected by patents granted in the USA, Europe, and other
key jurisdictions internationally. Additionally, in December 2023, Fixit
initiated a further patent family protecting the optimised design of the device
which, if granted, will provide patent protection until 2044. Brand Murray
Fuller LLP has been appointed as the company's patent and trademark attorneys.
In parallel Fixit is diligently preparing the technical dossier for ISO 13485 in
anticipation of the BSI audit scheduled for the middle to latter part of 2024.
Following this Cingo® will be ready for commercialisation.
Fixit Medical will be attending this year's Arab Health Congress at the end of
January to begin the process of introducing the product to interested
international parties.
Simon Grant-Rennick, Director of Igraine, commented:
"We appreciate your ongoing support and commitment to our shared vision of
advancing healthcare through innovative solutions. As we embark on the exciting
journey towards commercialisation, we look forward to achieving new milestones
and delivering value to our shareholders."
The Directors of the Company, who have issued this RIS announcement after due
and careful enquiry, accept responsibility for its content.
