Alan Kadish, M.D., president of New York Medical College (NYMC) and Touro College and University System (TCUS), announced a patent, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a revolutionary new bandage using Nano technology, part of a new agreement for NYMC to acquire a world class portfolio of patents in medical, technological and consumer products with one of the world's most prolific inventors. The new Nano Bandaging System releases antibiotics, antiseptics and other pathogen killing ingredients from a series of nano cells on the bandage while almost instantaneously drawing out dead material and secretions from the wound, leaving the wound cleaner and drier.  Read the full article on the new patent.
