Results of a new Antibacterial Technology from DeBogy Molecular that reduces Bacteria and Deadly Infection in Medical Implants reported in the Journal of Orthopedic Research

DeBogy Molecular Inc, a biotech startup that specializes in antimicrobial surface modification, today announced that the study results of their antibacterial compound on medical implants have been published in the prestigious Journal of Orthopedic Research. The study affirms the effectiveness and safety of the DeBogy technology to kill dangerous bacteria that proliferates on the surface of a medical implant following surgery. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jor.25638

Surgical site infections resulting from bacterial biofilm on the surface of a medical implant represent one of the most serious complications that can follow orthopedic surgery or the implantation of a medical device. Implant-related infections account for over half of the 2 million healthcare-associated infections annually in the U.S., at a cost of over $27 billion dollars.

The Journal of Orthopedic Research reports on a landmark in vivo study that shows bacterial biofilm in animals using DeBogy-treated implants was reduced by 99.9% vs the control group, 7 days following surgery. Infection in the surrounding tissue in animals using DeBogy-treated implants was reduced by 99.8%. Overall, the animals with DeBogy-treated implants were found to be healthier vs the control group, with measurable decreases in inflammation, fibrosis, vascularization, and necrosis.

“The promise of a new antibacterial technology that can fight infection without antibiotics, chemicals, or temporary coatings is truly transformational,” said Wayne Gattinella, CEO of DeBogy Molecular. “The possibilities of the DeBogy platform to improve the quality of life and reduce the cost of care for millions of people are enormous.”

Jupiter Endovascular Reports | 1st U.S. Patient Treated with Jupiter Shape-shifting Thrombectomy Device

“Navigation challenges during endovascular procedures are often underappreciated and have led to under-adoption of life-saving procedures, such as pulmonary embolectomy. We have purpose-built our Endoportal Control technology to solve these issues and make important endovascular procedures accessible to more clinicians and their patients who can benefit from them,” said Carl J. St. Bernard, Jupiter Endovascular CEO. “This first case in the U.S. could not have gone better, and appears to validate the safety and performance we are seeing in our currently-enrolling European SPIRARE I study.”
