Portfolio Company Update
Belluscura plc announced the filing of a patent application on a
modular,
portable oxygen enrichment ventilation system
Tekcapital plc, (AIM: TEK) the UK intellectual property
investment group focused on creating marketplace value from
investing in university technology, announces that its portfolio
company Belluscura plc in conjunction with its exclusive research
partner Separation Design Group, announced today the filing of a
patent application covering novel modular portable oxygen
enrichment ventilation systems for treating patients suffering from
chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS) brought on by such diseases as
COVID-19.
This latest patent application covers devices and systems for
treating people suffering from COPD and ARDS including patients
suffering from the recent coronavirus, COVID-19. The primary cause
of death from respiratory viruses like the coronavirus and
influenza, are the result of the fluids accumulating inside the
alveoli (the tiny air sacs of the lungs) which ultimately leads to
the failure of the transfer of oxygen to and carbon dioxide out of
the blood. The current primary treatment for ARDS is oxygen therapy
along with ventilator support.
Belluscura and Separation Design are rapidly designing and
developing next generation, cost-effective, portable oxygen
enrichment and ventilation technology to treat COPD and ARDS
patients.
Commenting on the patenting activities, Bob Rauker, CEO of
Belluscura, said: "We are very excited about our next generation
oxygen technologies. With the launch this year of our first
product, the X-PLOR(TM) portable oxygen concentrator, into the
respiratory treatment field where over 250 million people suffer
from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third
leading cause of death, it is critical that we continue to innovate
into the ever-expanding oxygen therapy market". Doug Galbraith, CEO
of Separation Design, lead inventor on over 12 oxygen enrichment
patents, states, "We need to continue developing cost-effective
respiratory solutions to meet the healthcare demands of the
future."
