Constellation Energy and Vistra stock surge after PJM capacity auction results
Investing.com -- Autonomix Medical (TASE:BLWV) Inc (NASDAQ:AMIX) stock surged 13% after the medical device company announced it has been granted a new patent for its "Smart Torquer" technology by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The newly issued patent (No. 12,295,646) covers a smart torquer device designed to enhance manipulation of intravascular devices during minimally invasive procedures while integrating electronic components for both mechanical control and data communication.
"This patent strengthens our intellectual property portfolio and reinforces our commitment to developing differentiated technologies that address large and underserved markets," said Brad Hauser, CEO of Autonomix. "The smart torquer improves control and signal integration for intravascular procedures, which is essential for expanding our platform into high-growth areas like cardiology, neurosurgery, and interventional radiology."
The patent specifically relates to an engaging mechanism that securely attaches to intravascular devices, a communication module for data exchange, an electrical connection interface for signal transmission, and a manipulator allowing users to apply torque to navigate the vascular system.
Autonomix is developing a catheter-based microchip sensing array antenna that may detect and differentiate neural signals with greater sensitivity than current technologies. The company’s proprietary RF ablation technology aims to provide a precision-guided approach to treating conditions ranging from chronic pain to hypertension.
The company noted that this patent adds to its portfolio of over 80 issued patents, strengthening its position in the precision nerve-targeted treatment market.
