Medical technologies group Norwood Abbey Ltd [ASX:NAL] advises that the commercialisation phase of the needle-free injection system project is progressing. During the past six months, the company has received unsolicited approaches, in relation to the technology, from a number of sources. Preliminary discussions have been undertaken with a number of parties. The parties include prominent pharmaceutical groups, one medical consulting group and a number of research hospitals, all of whom have expressed interest in the human applications of the technology. Two groups have approached the company regarding veterinary applications of the technology. The Company’s strategy is to enter into multiple arrangements with a range of partners. The needlefree technology presents a unique platform for the safe and controlled delivery of compounds of all kinds. The Company will continue to provide information and/or demonstrations on a confidential basis to the parties with a view to consummating the first commercial arrangements at the earliest possible date. Shareholders are reminded that major pharmaceutical groups undertake extensive due diligence, including technical assessments and patent assessments, and their timeframes are usually considerable. Meanwhile, continued progress has been made at MIT with respect to proving up the required parameters of the needle-free actuator. Recent developments have been the subject of separate reports in the past three months.
