iTech Medical Acquires BIOflex Medical Magnetics
Keywords: iTech Medical, medical magnets, Flex Pad, healthcare, biomedical, wellness, back
pain, neck pain, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, M&A
(HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA, February 20, 2013) – iTech Medical, Inc. (“iTech”) (OTC: IMSU) (FWB: 0IM) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of BIOflex Medical Magnetics, Inc. (“BIOflex”), a private healthcare company that has been developing and selling magnetic therapy
devices for over 25 years. This acquisition strengthens iTech’s corporate presence by adding more than 20 commercialized products that are currently being sold around the world.
“We’re excited to announce our official merger with BIOflex Medical Magnetics as we have already been working closely with the company for the past year,” says Wayne Cockburn, CEO of iTech Medical. “Our new partnership with BIOflex creates transformative opportunities for iTech in the
Complementary and Alternative Medicine, or CAM market. CAM is one of the fastest growing fields in healthcare and is more widely used today than ever before. Millions of people worldwide are spending billions of out-of-pocket dollars on CAM therapies – including medical magnets - and its widespread use continues to have an impact on users, practitioners, researchers and policy makers.”
BIOflex owns the worldwide rights to the patented Composite Concentric Circle (CCC) flexible bio-magnet. The CCC technology incorporates a proprietary design and magnetic field strength to maximize the therapeutic effects at the source of pain and discomfort. Millions suffer from acute or chronic pain every year and the effects of pain exact a tremendous cost in terms of health care costs, rehabilitation and lost worker productivity, as well as the emotional and financial burden it places on patients and their families. The worldwide magnet therapy industry has estimated sales of over a billion dollars per year, including $300 million dollars per year in the United States alone.
A summary of the transaction is as follows:
• BIOflex Medical Magnetics was purchased for 38 million shares of iTech Medical in an all stock transaction
• Wayne Cockburn will continue as CEO of the combined company
• Charles Zablotsky will remain President of BIOflex Medical Magnetics
• Two members of the iTech Board of Directors and two members of the BIOflex Board of Directors will serve on the new Board of Directors, with a fifth member to be appointed in 2013
• iTech Medical will be moving its headquarters to Salt Lake City, UT and BIOflex Medical Magnetics will continue to be headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, FL
“BIOflex Medical Magnetics is recognized as one of the leading developers of medical magnetic products; products that are supported by independent, peer-reviewed scientific and clinical research,” said Cockburn. “The partnership with BIOflex provides iTech with a unique opportunity to build on this fundamental research and to develop and commercialize a comprehensive line of diagnostic and therapeutic products that address the pain market.”
