The Company also announced that they will make the OrthoFuzIon Antimicrobial Bone Screw System commercially available to select institutions beginning this Fall in Europe.

The Company confirmed that they will attend the European Bone and Joint Infection Society scheduled for September 8-12, 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal and the German Congress for Orthopedics and Trauma, October 18-24, 2015 in Berlin, Germany.

"We take a lot of pride in not only our medical solutions, but also the breadth of our growing IP portfolio," stated Paul Chirico, President and CEO of Silver Bullet Therapeutics.

"We have a unique approach to adding proven antimicrobial capabilities to new or existing medical devices and implants, one that does not require external power sources, does not use drugs or other pharmaceutical agents and is durable enough to withstand the abrasive forces of screwing into bone."

Statistics back up the need for antimicrobial medical devices. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) caused from antimicrobial growth, or biofilm, on medical devices is estimated to cost the US healthcare system over $35 billion annually, with CDC figures suggesting that surgical site infections account for over 30% of all HAIs in hospitalized patients.

Recently, the Company received CE Mark approval for the commercial sale of its antimicrobial OrthoFuzIon Bone Screw System, indicated for orthopedic reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) procedures, in the European Union.

Silver Bullet Therapeutics has developed patented antimicrobial implants and medical devices to address surgical-site and hospital-acquired infections.
