Description
Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. is developing medical and cosmetic products that efficiently deliver oxygen to tissues in the body. The company has developed a proprietary perfluorocarbon (PFC) therapeutic oxygen carrier called Oxycyte that is being formulated for both intravenous and topical delivery. This year, the company launched its DERMACYTE line of oxygen-rich skin care products. In addition, the company is focused on perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carriers for use in traumatic brain injury, decompression sickness, personal care, and topical wound healing.

Technology / Differentiation
The company's lead drug is Oxycyte, a perfluorocarbon therapeutic oxygen carrier, designed to enhance oxygen delivery to damaged tissues. Using Oxycyte technology, the company has been able to formulate the product into an emulsion, lotions and gels. Oxycyte emulsion molecules are about 1/50th the size of red blood cells and able to flow into small capillaries and around damaged tissue. As an intravenous emulsion, Oxycyte can carry many times more oxygen than hemoglobin, making it an effective means of transporting oxygen to tissues. It is the basis for all of the products and indications in the company's pipeline.
