Surgery patients in Britain and
elsewhere will now benefit from advanced Israeli medical technology after
British healthcare company Advanced Medical Solutions Group (AMS) acquired
Haifa-based Sealantis for $25 million.
Sealantis is part of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
The Israeli company has developed
a unique type of surgical adhesives that will seal wounds and stop internal
bleeding and prevent leakage of spinal fluids. The Sealantis innovation
significantly lowers the risk of infection or allergies to patients than with
other products by using a polymer produced from algae rather than protein-based
sealants.
Britain’s AMS has discovered Israel
and plans to expand into Israel in the field of biotechnological innovations for
the benefit of patients everywhere.

Who else can invent such a useful thing other than Israel!
