Richard Connelly’s Experience CFO Palmaz Scientific Inc. (Medical Devices industry)
July 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Palmaz Scientific pursues the research, development and commercialization of advanced metallurgical surface nanotechnologies for the manufacture of implantable medical devices. The Palmaz Nanotechnology Platform uses physical vapor deposition processes and innovative nanotechnology designs to produce thin film metals of thickness as small as 5 microns (i.e. the approximate size of one blood cell). These thin film metals can then be fabricated into low profile implantable medical devices for many applications including all metal micromesh thin film coverings for stents, micro-neuro and vascular stents, angioplasty balloons, drug delivery devices, as well as cosmetic and orthopedic implants. In addition, Palmaz has developed patented nanotechnology process methods that accelerate the healing process of cells on metals used in implantable medical devices. Research over the last ten years has yielded 68 issued patents, with 144 active patent filings pending (as of October 13, 2009), for metallurgical surface nanotechnologies and processing methods.
Palmaz Scientific intends to commercialize the Palmaz Nanotechnology Platform through the introduction of products, third party licensing, funded development, joint ventures or other strategic partnerships. The commercialization effort will be supported by brand awareness campaigns, establishment of a thought leadership advisory board, patent expansion and protection, and collaborative relationships with leading medical institutions of higher education.
