Accelerating technology commercialisation
• Providing a route to market Support and the development of
Innovative companies • Providing a lead customer/R&D

• IP rests with Supplier Certain usage rights with Public
Sector – Companies encouraged to exploit IP

Case Study:
The system delivers nitric oxide directly to specific skin tissue in order to help increase blood flow and stimulate wound healing. The SBRI funding has meant that we have been able to move from a non-investible company to one that could be invested in. Edixomed has partnered with a wound dressing company in order to bring the product to market in the UK and the dressing is now in clinical trials at Kings College Hospital, London and at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. Chairman, Mr Wood says the company hope to bring the product to market next year.
The backing and investment from the SBRI
competition has been critical
Edinburgh based Edixomed have developed a Nitric Oxide dressing for diabetic patients with chronic leg ulcers to enable rapid healing

Case Study:
My belief is that had we not had the SBRI funding we would not have raised additional private equity
funding and had it not been for SBRI validation I don’t think this company would be around now.
Oxford University Spin out Company, Eykona technologies has devised a novel 3D camera which allows for improved monitoring and clinical intervention of chronic wounds in clinics, hospitals and in patient homes.
Peter Bannister, Chief Scientific Officer
The Eykona wound measurement system, which was launched in the UK in December 2011 is already being used in 20 NHS hospitals and primary care settings, allows community nurses to monitor the wounds while having the back-up hospital-based experts. Images can be evaluated without the need for patients to visit outpatients – increasing effectiveness and reducing costs. The technology allows wounds to be assessed by volume

Case Study:
Huntingdon based start up Aseptika Ltd has devised a home-based rapid quantitative test for bacterial respiratory infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF)
The company has successfully demonstrated the feasibility of quantifying the levels of key biomarkers in sputum donated by cystic fibrosis patents as a way of predicting the onset of chest infections known clinically as exacerbations. Evidence indicates that for every day of ‘advanced warning’ and every day an effective antimicrobial is administered, time in the clinic is reduced by 0.5 day. The company is now in the process of scaling up trials to make it possible for CF patients and their doctors to monitor their health at home and they hope to start full clinical trials early next year.
SBRI is a case of relatively small amounts of money making the
difference and being able to develop the new products the
public sector needs and support the development of new
companies.

SME PolyPhotonix has worked with the Liverpool University Hospitals Ophthalmology team to create a LED mask that stops the damage of diabetic retinopathy & wet and dry AMD. Phase II trials are going well and Phase III are commissioned by Moorefield's starting in Sept. PolyPhotonix is pioneering the early adoption of organic light. Working with designers and key customers, it is creating new products and supporting the design process right through to manufacture based at the National Pritable Electronics Centre in Sedgefield.

Powerful backers of SBRI ‘the SBIR programme will be used ‘across all societal challenges and the enabling and industrial technologies’
The PM would like to see wider use of the SBRI and would like all plans to set out how they will take advantage of this scheme recognising the aspiration to increase the scale of the programme
European Commission Autumn 12

Prime Minister Oct 12
I am convinced that SBRI has a major role to play in not only stimulating industry and SMEs to innovate, but also in helping the NHS provide better services for patients. It is my belief that SBRI Programmes should be embedded into the innovation architecture that we are building through AHSNs.
Secretary of State for Health Jan 13
