New NO product reduces diabetic pain
The Swedish medtech company Nolabs has announced that it has achieved an important milestone in the development of a new line of products.
Nolabs develops innovative nitric oxide-containing medical devices based on the Nitrosense Technology. The core concept of Nitrosense Technology is combining an innovative substance and an innovative delivery system to create products for local delivery of nitric oxide. The company uses a system for local delivery of nitric oxide to different parts of the body. The major advantages of the Nitrosense Technology lie in the ability to deliver well-defined amounts of pure nitric oxide over shorter as well as longer time periods.
