Nearly a thing of the past
“Super Asprin” makes it’s mark.
John Gilmer has broken through the aspirin barrier to form this “Super Asprin”. He is now apparently in talks with Solvatrin Theraputics regarding developing the drug.
Solvatrin Theraputics are the company behind what has now been named as “Super Aspirin”, and are in talks with a number of multinational pharma companies.
Based in Cork, the company expects the super product to be “on the shelf” in the next two years. Regulatory approval pending, the sale are set to top €500m in the space of 8 years!
Dr John Gilmer has spent in excess of 10 years working on the “Super Aspirin” believes it will give you all the benefits of aspirin but not the gastro-intestinal bleeding side effect. In order to protect the intestine and stomach lining, Gilmer discovered that he could deactivate the aspirin and re-activate at a later stage by enzymes naturally present in the blood. Basically, the aspirin content content becomes active as soon as it reaches the bloodstream.
“Our research has shown the market demands a solution to the side effects of aspirin and our drug directly addresses this problem” says c0-founder Pat O’Flynn.
It appears that June is a good month for Research, Development and Pharmaceuticals – Gilmer’s 10 years hard work has finally paid off

Success for EndoFLIP!
Cropson’s EndoFLIP has had it’s first use in a new weight loss surgery technique, known as gastric imbrications.
The reversible gastric imbrications technique is a unique procedure that needs no device implanted or no tissue removed from the stomach.
The potential for success in the US is quite realistic, given the popularity for weight loss surgery in the US.
“The EndoFLIP device has the avility to change the way we do bariatric surgery all over the world” says Dr Daniel Cottam, “There has been nothing as revolutionary as this device since the lap band”.
Cottam added “I believe in five years we won’t know how we ever did bariatric surgery without it”.
EndoFLIP technology “fills an important need for the gastric imbrications procedure, namely providing visual feedback to the surgeon “, John O Dea, CEO Crospon as said.
Once again, we wish Crospon the very best of luck with their venture in the US.
Watch this space for further EndoFLIP updates!

Eland to sell off EDT
Plans to sell Elan’s drug technology business EDT may rise a portion from when Kelly Martin aimed to sell in 2008.
Elan’s EDT is said to be worth $900m should it float on the US Stock market. Elan almost sold off for $1.4bn in 2008 with a number of equities reaching the second round of bidding.
Between the collapse of Lehman Brothers and financial panic, the deal was scuppered.
Here’s hoping the deal goes their way this time around!
