I2Pure is excited to announce a patent pending milestone
achievement in iodine technology. Known for its expertise in iodine
science and innovation, I2Pure has developed a novel and
proprietary methodology to infuse nano particles with iodine that
results in shelf-stable, pH-neutral iodine solutions. Using this
technology, the efficacy of existing iodine products can be
improved, and new iodine products can be developed that were
previously out-of-reach to science and medicine. I2Pure’s
breakthrough process is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and
cost-effective, consuming a fraction of the energy previously
required to combine iodine with nano materials.
The new methodology enables the delivery of precise levels of
iodine in products that can be stored at room temperature and are
inherently sterile. Many resulting iodine formulations will satisfy
existing FDA drug monographs while making available higher
concentrations of free iodine, the antimicrobial natural element
that global healthcare relies upon. For example, I2Pure’s
proprietary solution will eliminate the need for surgeons and other
medical professionals to mix their own iodine formulations in the
operating room or other treatment areas.
“I2Pure remains steadfast in our vision to revolutionize the
delivery of high-potency molecular iodine to applications across
healthcare and beyond,” said Jeff Jochims, I2Pure CEO. “This is a
key milestone along our path. With this achievement, I2Pure can
design more effective doses of iodine in a variety of pH-neutral
applications. With formulations that meet existing FDA monographs,
we envision rapid market entry of new iodine products, such as
antisepsis solutions, wound irrigations, oral rinses, and numerous
other products.”
Explained Jack Kessler, PhD, I2Pure’s Chief Scientific Officer
and Board Member, “I’m incredibly proud of our team. Just consider
povidone-iodine, a worldwide healthcare staple that has not seen a
material enhancement in almost 70 years. That product delivers only
1-3 ppm of free iodine, the only antimicrobial portion of PVP-I.
I2Pure’s achievement enables delivery of iodine formulations with
hundreds of times more ppm of free iodine. It’s incredible!”
I2Pure remains actively engaged in collaborations and product
development efforts across many product categories. The company
will soon introduce a line of over-the-counter products sold
directly to consumers. The company is also progressing to seek
regulatory approval of several healthcare products both
independently and with strategic partners while also expanding its
research and development efforts in other fields.
“We have under our roof three world-class iodine scientists in
Drs. Ilker Bayer, Eugene Duan, and Jack Kessler, who together bring
to I2Pure a combined expertise of more than 75 years in applied
iodine technology. Their tireless effort to advance iodine science
and product development in ways that improve the world is
awe-inspiring,” concluded Jochims.
