Taking Healthcare Beyond Traditional Platforms (CNW Group/Beyond Medical Technologies Inc.)

Manufacturing Three-Ply Medical Grade Face Masks at Full Capacity

Micron Technologies has been manufacturing and selling three-ply medical grade face masks at the Company's facility in Delta, British Columbia since August 2020 . The three-ply medical grade face masks are being manufactured pursuant to Micron Technologies' Medical Device Establishment License issued by Health Canada. The three-ply medical grade face masks offer three layers of protection, which conforms to the American Society for Testing and Materials' F2100 Level 3 standards. The non-woven masks feature an adjustable nose clip designed to protect both front-line workers and consumers. Micron Technologies is currently operating three shifts a day to manufacture three-ply medical grade face masks.

Manufacturing N95 Face Masks

Micron Technologies is now also setting up manufacturing N95 Model 8800 face masks, which have been approved.  Micron Technologies has submitted its N95 Model 8800 face masks to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (" NIOSH ") and is confident it will obtain NIOSH certification as its N95 Model 8800 face masks have already passed testing with Kinetrics Analytical and Environmental Laboratories. Micron Technologies has purchased a large quantity of raw materials to manufacture N95 Model 8800 face masks and plans to maximize production efforts once NIOSH certification has been obtained. As of last month there was still a significant shortage of N95 masks and approximately " 56 percent of frontline workers say they still don't have enough N95 masks. "

Third Wave of COVID-19

According to Dr. Abdu Sharkawy , an infectious disease specialist, the third wave of COVID-19 is " likely going to be worse than the first two ." With respect to the addition of variants, Dr. Sharkawy noted " and of course we've seen what these variants can offer, they can really lead to an explosion of cases very quickly ."  Dr. Theresa Tam , Canada's Chief Public Health Officer, announced a 64% increase in new cases involving variants. In addition to the new variants, the slow vaccine roll-out and complacency with public health restrictions are contributing to the third wave.

Earlier this month Canada surpassed 1,000,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, with the provinces of Ontario , Quebec , and British Columbia being hit the hardest by the third wave.

Products Now Available at Walmart

As previously announced, Micron Technologies' three-ply medical grade face masks and N95 medical grade face masks have been approved for sale by Walmart. Micron Technologies expects its products to be available at www.walmart.com in the coming weeks.

In addition to Walmart, Micron Technologies' products are also available on Amazon and Shopify.

Radiopharmaceuticals Take Investors to the Forefront of Precision Oncology

Radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as one of the most promising innovations in modern medicine, particularly in precision oncology, and if recent billion-dollar investment deals are any indication, the potential for growth can be significant. Investors eyeing exposure to this emerging technology would benefit from a deeper understanding of the technology, its strategic applications and investment opportunities.

A groundbreaking technology in the field of oncology, radiopharmaceuticals combine radioactive substances with targeted molecules to revolutionise cancer detection and treatment. These innovative compounds are gaining significant attention due to their ability to deliver precise and targeted cancer therapies, minimising damage to healthy tissues while maximising therapeutic efficacy.

At their core, radiopharmaceuticals leverage the unique properties of radioactive isotopes, pairing them with molecules that have a high affinity for cancer cells. This combination allows for both diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications, offering a level of precision previously unattainable in traditional cancer treatments.

Top 5 Life Science ETFs in 2024

Taking a position in a life science exchange-traded fund (ETF) provides exposure to a basket of stocks focused on the healthcare sector, while mitigating the risks of holding shares in a single company.

While ETFs provide diversification by their nature, fund managers often narrow down their offerings to follow a specific aspect of the market — for example, biotech or pharma. They also typically adjust the weight of ETF holdings to match movements in the life science industry in an effort to give investors the best possible returns.

There are many choices when it comes to life science ETFs, and to help investors understand their options, the Investing News Network has listed the top life science ETFs by year-on-year performance.
