Nanotechnology for Medical Devicesand Biomaterial Applications

• A Revolution Of Unknown Dimensions is underway in Medical Devices and Biomaterials

• It appears to be BIG!• It has been a long time in coming, and is based on many

sedimentary layers:– Instrumentation - Fabrication– Microscopy, SEM, TEM, AFM - Semiconductors– Thin Film - Cold War– Bioterrorism defense - Lucrative medical

markets– Government funding - Nanoeconomics (gold

in the hills)

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Point of View Worth 80 I.Q. Points- Alan Kay

• It is not just “nano”• It is thin film coating, MEMS, particulates,

extensions of bio and pharma• Combined with the rapid growth and successful

economic of implantable devices• And the tremendous economic success of drug

delivery coatings on stents• And there is a lot of money available for relative

high risk R&D• Medicine will change for the better• Fortunes will be made

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Some Observations and Trends

• The Drexler “Nanobot” a smart mechanical contraption with smarts and power, is only one small dimension of possibility space. It has been much in the public mind.

• However, smart particulates, active thin-film coatings, circulating synthetic antibodies, are working in labs today

• To fully understand the future dimensions of nanotech on medicine, one has to think on broader dimensions than what is “technically” considered “nano.”

• Because the innovations are moving all along the continuum of nano and micro and MEMS and coatings, and the innovations, to be valuable, do not need to be “nano.” Many are.

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Putting Things in Three Categories

• That which we know about and might be here already

• That which we think is coming

• The unexpected, breakthrough innovations

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Explosive Atmosphere of Innovation---

A Unique Time in History

• Only 45 years since the first successful implantable device (Wilson Greatbatch’s pacemaker, licensed to Medtronic)

• Only three years since the success of drug coated stents• Frost & Sullivan predicting a $40 BILLION MARKET• Unparalleled worldwide government investment in

nanotech• Public markets and venture capital supportive of

nanotech• Enormous open opportunity for intellectual property

generation• Instrumentation and new know-how open many new

potentials

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Some Examples

• New nanocoatings and material surfaces can – Improve biocompatibility and growth– Replace polymers for elution– Increase the elution life– Non-invasively control the elution rate– Add diagnostics without power– Expand minimally invasive surgery– Improve life and functionality of devices

• Thin film coatings can provide multiple functionality

• Lab on a Chip can be within a Thin Film Coating

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Some Nanotechnology Capabilities

• Combine radiation and hyperthermia or ablation• Attack cancer and other undesirables• Redirect cancer cells• Make non-toxic chemotherapy agents• Improve drug targeting• Provide non-invasive visualization• Provide non-invasive drug delivery and dosing• Preparing drugs as nanoparticles can improve

drug solubility, uptake and delivery, either orally, intravenously or topically

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Economics

• Many publicly funded nanotech companies• Alternatives to Venture Capital Financing• Biomedical and Pharmaceutical industries value IP• Enormous base of R&D and publications• Very fast acceleration of compounding technologies• Emergence of multi-purpose start-ups and small

companies (Biophan, Arrowhead, NanoProprietary, Nanosys, Ardesta, Advance Nano, et al)

• Significant market cap potentials for pre-revenue ventures (Biophan at $200 million)

• 20 year growth in sophistication of University tech transfer

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Biophan’s Mission• Enable over $12 billion worth of medical devices

shipping annually safe for use with MRI, and imageable. Many are not:– Guidewires, catheters, endoscopes, biopsy

needles– Pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators,

drug pumps (safety issues, also imaging issues), pain control devices

– Stents, embolism clips, aneurysm clips, artificial hips, knees, most other orthopedics

• Bring other innovations for competitive advantage to biomedical device and pharmaceutical companies.

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Biophan’s Solutions

• MRI Safety: (many products contraindicated)– RF filter from Johns Hopkins (heating)

– Biophan multi-filar wire solution (heating)

– “Anti-Antenna” lead design (induced voltages)

• Image Compatibility

• Nanomagnetic particle thin film coatings (Nanoset, LLC and Alfred University)– Minimize image artifacts

– Makes catheters, guidewires, stents, and devices visible under MRI

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Core Business• Offering our customers competitive advantage

– Through proprietary solutions that can gain marketshare for them

– FDA approval is pursued by the customer– Marketing and distribution of the final device is theirs

• We sell high margin components and develop annuities for our shareholders

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Relationship With Boston Scientific

• Joint development agreement, originally entered into November, 2003

• Recently moved to second and third phase, and has expanded to multiple products

• One of the companies referred to in recent 10Q• Reached agreement on term sheet, working on

final contract phase

MRI Device Imaging

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Coronary Stents A stent is a support device for permanent

expansion of blood vessel to restore blood flow.

Implantation is done with X-ray guidance in a Cathlab, which exposes the patient to ionizing radiation and potentially kidney damaging X-ray contrast agents.

After implantation, there is currently no way to show a potential restenosis (re-narrowing) of the blood vessel using non-invasive diagnostic systems. Diagnosis requires another catheterization procedure.

StentImplantation

Biophan’s technology presents an alternative – using an MRI system for diagnosis of restenosis. MRI diagnosis provides advantages, since it is non-invasive and uses no harmful radiation and no iodine contrast agents.

Making Stents Imageable

• Seeing blockage of stents has required an invasive procedure

• Stents imageable under MRI would be competitively advantaged

• Biophan’s business is competitive advantage for our customers through technology innovation

• Nanoset has a thin-film, nanomagnetic coating solution

• AMRIS, now Biophan-Europe, has a “retrofit” solution• Both solutions are PATENTED! • Together we “cover the waterfront”

(OTC BB: BIPH)

Implications

• Impact the $5+ billion stent market

• Help manufacturers make pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators safe, and imageable – competitive advantage to our licensees

• Make guidewires, catheters, endoscopes, biopsy needles safe and image compatible

• Opens the field of interventional medicine under MRI (currently only X-Ray/Fluoroscopy)
