Liquidmetal® Passes Implant Study
Liquidmetal® Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT; the “Company”), announced today that it has passed additional pre-screening
biocompatibility tests for use in medical implants and is now pursuing collaborations with medical implant companies.
In February of 2017, LQMT received long-term implantation results from parts 3, 10, 6 and 11 of the ISO 10993 (Biological
Evaluation of Medical Devices) suite of tests, which include evaluation of genotoxicity, sub-chronic systemic toxicity, and
pyrogenicity. LQMT alloy LM105 passed all of these tests well within the allowable limits. These results, combined with previously
completed tests from ISO 10993 parts 10, 11, 4, and 5 which cover sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity,
hemocompatibility and cytotoxicity, indicate that the Liquidmetal process is compatible with a wide range of medical device
requirements including long term implants.
“The results of these tests are very exciting and it positions the Company well to engage medical device customers in a broad
range of implantable device applications including, cardiac rhythm, cochlear, spinal, and orthopedic implants among others. The
Company will now focus on partnering with medical implant manufacturers to identify specific applications to further explore the
use of Liquidmetal,” said Paul Hauck, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at LQMT.
