Executive Summary Overview

Erectistim™ improves blood circulation as well as combines bioelectrical therapy for improving muscle performance. It is our belief that both are essential for long term erectile dysfunction recovery.

Vision

Our vision is to improve not only blood flow but restore lost muscle mass and performance with a bioelectric stimulator. Resulting in significant improvement of erectile dysfunction in 4 – 12 weeks with a comfortable non-invasive treatment that fits into your life schedule. The bioelectric stimulation delivered in as little as 7 – 20 minutes. Treatment only with the current medications only temporarily improve blood flow and do not address the muscular issue or in some cases neurological issues as well.

Product

An FDA 510K bioelectric stimulator programed with precise signals for improving blood circulation, inflammation management, mild pain relief, improvement of muscle motion and accelerated healing.

Problem

Over 150 million men worldwide suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) with no cure currently known. ED affects up to 50% of men ages 40 to 70. The ED drug market is worth $4 billion annually. Some men with severe ED are unresponsive to the drugs available and some men are unable to take them at all because of contraindication if they take nitrate compounds. If they did they would be at serious risk of extreme hypotension or even death. New solutions need to be introduced! Clearly the current treatments are far from effective enough and fail to really solve any of the underlying problems. Even with the huge gap in care the drug industry for this issue is booming. Continuing to gain momentum and revenue each year with many desperate to fix their problem even only temporarily. With our approach of addressing all of the problems and regenerating the bodies ability perform on its own, it is a much more permanent solution.

Patents

Over 400 patent claims issued, pending, licensed or optioned for organ regeneration and recovery. Patent claims cover over 20 regenerative proteins expressions including SDF-1 + PDGF for stem cell homing, a full suite of angiogenesis (blood vessel forming) protein expressions and bioelectric signaling sequences for managing inflammation, blood pressure, muscle formation and nerve regeneration. Important regeneration promoting controlled proteins expressions include klotho, tropoelastin (for increasing elasticity), follistatin and sonic hedgehog.

• We recently reported in mouse models of type I and type II diabetic ED that two successive intracavernous injections of synthetic Ang1 protein, a soluble and potent Ang1 variant, significantly increased cavernous endothelial cell proliferation, eNOS phosphorylation, and cGMP expression and decreased the production of reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide anion and peroxynitrite . These changes restored erectile function up to 4 weeks in the diabetic mice.

• Local delivery of synthetic Ang1 protein also induced complete recovery of endothelial cell-cell junction proteins and decreased cavernous endothelial permeability in the diabetic mice

• Twenty-two patients with ED participated in this randomized clinical trial. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention (IG) or control (CG).

• Erectile function was assessed by the validated International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and Erection Hardness Score (EHS), applied before and after treatment, and quality of life, by the WHOQOL questionnaire. Statistically significant differences in IIEF-5 and EHS were found between the IG and CG after treatment (p <  0.05), as well as a within-group difference in the IG when comparing the post-treatment periods

• This trial showed that FES therapy may improve erectile function and quality of life in men with ED.
