SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SINTX Technologies, Inc. (www.sintx.com) (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an original equipment manufacturer of advanced ceramics for medical and non-medical applications, announced today that it has ended its Patent License Agreement with O2TODAY following O2TODAY’s delay in bringing a product to market.
SINTX previously announced this past August that it was re-evaluating its joint development efforts with O2TODAY due to delays in development. Nevertheless, SINTX will look to identify new ways to collaborate with O2TODAY to develop antiviral, antimicrobial fabrics containing SINTX FleX SN-AP silicon nitride powder while exploring other possible partnerships.
The development of antipathogenic mask and fabric technology using FleX SN-AP continues to be important to SINTX as it is part of its broader business strategy to develop fabric applications. FleX SN-AP has shown rapid antipathogenic activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses including SARS-CoV-2. The Company will continue to work with OEM partners to develop products utilizing its FleX products for masks as well as other products.
