Acquisition of Medical Devices
Establishment of Subsidiary Company to Provide Premium Medical
Products at Affordable Prices
Tekcapital plc (AIM: TEK), an international provider of
technology and intellectual property services, announces that its
subsidiary, Belluscura Limited, has acquired exclusive licences to
manufacture and sell three proprietary medical devices. The devices
have been developed by and exclusively licensed from Stryker
Corporation, a leading medical technology company. The devices have
achieved regulatory approval where necessary and have already
achieved commercial sales.
The devices are:
- "Slyde(TM) ", a non-ambulatory patient evacuation sled;
- "Passport(R)", a trocar for use with the Da Vinci(R) Surgical System (keyhole surgery); and
- "SNAP II", a level of consciousness monitor for use during
surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia.
The products are protected by a portfolio of 19 issued and
pending patents.
The exclusive licences have been acquired by Tekcapital's newly
formed UK subsidiary, Belluscura Limited ("Belluscura"). Belluscura
has been established in order to commercialise these products, for
which a new management team is being put in place. It is intended
that Belluscura will market and expand sales of the devices,
initially in the US and Western Europe, using third party
manufacturing, and will look to acquire further exclusive licences
to sell other medical devices in the future. Tekcapital is
exploring the possibility of Belluscura raising funds via an IPO on
AIM (a market operated by London Stock Exchange Plc) to accelerate
its growth strategy.
Tekcapital now owns 95% of the share capital of Belluscura and
Stryker Corporation owns the remaining 5%.
Dr. Clifford M. Gross, Executive Chairman of Tekcapital,
commented: "We are very pleased to announce the establishment of
Belluscura and the acquisition of its first three medical devices.
Belluscura's mission is to provide premium, proprietary medical
devices at affordable prices."
