May 27, 2008 -- MedX Health Corp. (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada; TSXV: MDX) has filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patent Office for its "Photobandage", a bandage technology designed to enhance the healing process by bathing the area surrounding a wound in light.

"It is our intention to accelerate the development of this new product, aimed at the large and rapidly-growing wound care market," said MedX President Steve Guillen. "This filing, the first in what will be a series of event/milestones, is evidence of progress in this direction and of our commitment to the application of light therapy to the wound-care market." He added that the company intends to license the technology to one or more major wound care companies for further development, marketing, and sales.
