Edmonton - TheNewswire - July 26, 2019. Innovotech Inc. (TSXV:IOT), is pleased to report that it has received Notice of Allowance of a US patent (14/415,666) for its silver compounds, including InnovoSIL(TM)-1 and AgreGuard(TM)-1, which have broad activity against pathogens causing both bacterial and fungal infections.

Biofilms are organized communities of microorganisms that are notoriously difficult to eradicate. The Innovotech silver compounds have been shown to be very effective on biofilms associated with human, animal or plant infections.

InnovoSIL(TM)-1 and AgreGuard(TM)-1 have unusual stability in certain gels and are able to demonstrate a slow release, offering sustained antimicrobial activity. They have multiple mechanisms of action, and so it is more difficult for resistance to develop.

These compounds, in combination with gels, can bring valuable antimicrobial properties as coatings of surfaces or various medical, surgical, and wound devices; or could be used for direct application to infected skin, leaves or seeds.

Innovotech is actively seeking established industry partners interested in enhancing their products through the use of these outstanding products.
