IpAuctions schedules sale of Zassi's pouchless ostomy management technology IP portfolio

May 15 2010

IpAuctions^™ has scheduled a live international corporate sale of the extensive IP portfolio of pouchless ostomy management technologies owned by Zassi Holdings, Inc. Zassi, the Florida-based firm, fosters breakthrough medical devices that are materially evolving the life sciences industry.

The two portfolios include seven patents and one patent application, as well as comprehensive ostomy and bowel management research data and cutting-edge methodology. A wide variety of protected non-surgical, clinically viable, and advanced pouchless ostomy management technologies are included that can greatly evolve the global ostomy appliance market in an already billion-dollar marketplace.

The first Lot includes seven patents for a variety of specialized pulsed irrigation and catheter-type devices along with daily disposables used with these devices (e.g., moisture barriers, deodorizing cartridges). Without causing harm to the bowel wall, these specialized irrigation devices provide a faster, more sanitary means of bowel evacuation and stool dis-impaction. They work independently or in concert with the other continence control technologies in the portfolio. View this Lot 643 on www.ipauctions.com, which links to the patents at the U.S. PTO and the WIPO.

Lot 644 on the site is patent application US2009/0275795: Continent Ostomy System With Chemical Neuromuscular Control and exemplifies an apparatus that can provide intestinal motility control in order to help achieve continence in a gastrointestinal ostomy of a patient. It includes a luminal sealing device, a chemical neuromuscular control agent (for intestinal motility control), and a mechanism for controlled, localized delivery of the neuromuscular control agent, which inhibits peristalsis to arrest the advancement of the contents of the intestines. The inhibitory affect can range in time and help mitigate the risks of leakage, odor, device expulsion, and bowel erosion. Numerous clinically and commercially viable combinations of chemical colonic motility control and containment devices are protected.

IpAuctions^™ in conjunction with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Geneva-based IP registrar, is also linked online to three other sales. Full details are presented on the auction site, www.ipAuctions.com.
