Future Plans
Developing countries have serious barriers to effective biomedical waste disposal. BMTS is working with global health leaders to combat those barriers by designing a system specifically for use in these developing areas.

The home health care (self-injector) market, although not rigorously regulated currently, is the source of billions of injections in the United States alone. Increasing pressure for regulatory oversight of the home health market will set the stage for market entry of the home Demolizer® unit currently in the initial design phase.

BMTS is also actively engaged in finding environmentally friendlier ways to process biomedical waste. We are currently researching and working to develop recycling programs for our technology, including a 100% recyclable filter and an effectively and thoroughly recycled Demolizer® technology processed end-product.

There are approximately 55,000 veterinarians in private practice in the United States alone. An additional 8,000 treat animals as part of their role in academic and government positions. In veterinary medicine, potentially infectious wastes are produced as a result of routine examination, immunizations and treatment. In light of growing concern regarding the danger of zoonotic disease, proper handling and disposal of such wastes are necessary for the safety of both veterinary staff and waste management personnel.

The Demolizer® technology is the ideal on-site veterinary biomedical waste disposal solution for:

• Veterinary Clinics, Hospitals and Emergent Care Centers


• Schools of Veterinary Medicine


• Mobile Veterinary Practices


• Veterinary/Animal Research Centers


• Animal Rescue Organizations


• Mobile Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams (VMATs)

The Demolizer® II offers a cost-effective, safe, simple and secure solution to veterinary biomedical waste disposal.

There are approximately 1.5 million active duty military personnel in the United States armed forces and another 1.2 million on the reserve rolls. Healthcare in support of military missions is frequently dispensed by means of mobile services (air evacuation, naval ships, ambulance) and field care (temporary treatment facilities). The U.S. Air Force employed Demolizer® technology in theatre , to effectively process waste on site.

Future plans for BMTS

BMTS is committed to working with the armed forces medical branches, as well as the Department of Homeland Security, to offer the innovative Demolizer® technology as a solution to their unique biomedical waste disposal needs.

There are virtually hundreds of thousands of public settings where biomedical waste is generated in the form of both sharps (e.g. syringes, razors) and red bag biomedical waste:

• Public Health Clinics


• Urgent Care Clinics


• School Health Clinics


• First Aid Stations


• Ambulances


• Air Evacuation Vehicles


• Stadiums


• Airports


• Cruise Lines, Trains, Buses, Airplanes


• Pharmacies

Additionally, restrooms located in public settings often serve as a makeshift facility for self-treatment, producing potentially infectious waste that should be properly processed for safe disposal.

The Demolizer® II offers a cost-effective, safe, simple and secure solution to public venue's biomedical waste disposal.

Diabetes Facts:

27% of individuals with diabetes worldwide require 1.5 injections daily to effectively treat diabetes.

Each year, a further 7 million people develop diabetes worldwide .

25 billion injections are required to treat diabetes worldwide annually.

By 2025, the largest increases in diabetes prevalence will take place in developing countries.

The number of people diagnosed with Diabetes is expected to grow to 54 billion worldwide by 2030.

Diabetes is expected to cause 3.8 million deaths worldwide in 2007, about 6% of total global mortality, about the same as HIV/AIDS.

BMTS is dedicated to developing safe, environmentally sound solutions to worldwide biomedical waste disposal .

The Good News

• a 72% decline in the incidence of diphtheria


• a 91% decline in the incidence of whooping cough


• a 61% decline in the incidence of measles

The Bad News

• Used syringes are sold without sterilization on the black market for medical reuse.


• Methods of disposal in developing nations can be unsafe, exposing unsuspecting victims to hazardous needle sticks, often resulting in diseases


• Sewing tools, toothpicks, even squirt guns are some of the creative ways people in developing nations find to reuse syringes, posing serious risks to health and safety

We want to make a difference.

In conjuntions with PATH, WHO and UNICEF, we are designing a syringe melter developing nations can use to safely dispose of biomedical sharps waste. After 7 years of research and development, The Gazel™ renders sharps completely sterile and 100% recyclable. This product will provide easy means to properly dispose of sharps and prevent the harmful effects these nations are currently experiencing.

It uses a rather unique "personal copier" sized solution called Demolizer®. II- a patented treatment process that uses dry heat to render waste 99.9999 percent sterile, and sharps (injection needles) non-reusable. The treated waste then is properly labeled and thrown away as common trash. The solution sounds simple enough, but the science and cost-savings proposal for the patient care market, including medical offices, dental offices, urgent care centers, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities; and veterinary care market, which include veterinary hospitals, emergency veterinary care, livestock medicine, equine medicine, zoos, and sanctuaries is tremendous and perhaps more importantly for small cap investors a great opportunity to get into the very hot regulated medical waste sector which sees stocks trade at up to 25 times earnings (as compared to more typical 3 to 4 times earnings found in other sectors of the market). "When I first saw the technology," explains Don Cox CEO of BioMedical Technology Solutions, "I thought 'what a simple, unique solution. Then I started finding out just how much biomedical waste we produce in this country, when you found out how it grows it's staggering. 2006 numbers indicated that we had 1.5 billion pounds of the stuff produced commercially in the United States. That's five pounds for every person in the U.S. That equated to 3.5 billion dollars to haul that waste away commercially. That number has just kept growing since then." According to some researchers, the world is 5 to 7 times larger than the U.S. market and that is just what they are able to gather from countries who are actually regulating and marking their waste. Is it any wonder the medical waste sector has become such an interesting sector to Wall Street lately? Especially when you consider the number of baby boomers that are growing older and becoming seniors now. That segment of the population spends more time in medical facilities seeking treatments and as a result also creating more medical waste. It is clear that regulated medical waste is a growing problem both domestically and internationally. The technology and the growing size of the industry is what initially attracted Cox, and pushed him to setting up his venture as a publicly traded company. Until he started Biomedical Technology Solutions Cox had built a lot of companies in thirty years and had "never had a job" in my adult life. "I played in a lot of sectors where there was a lot of competition," says Cox. "But when i looked a the Demolizer® and it's potential, I immediately recognized over a million applications in the United States in the small to medium volume (medical waste) generators, which is what our machine is designed for." Now, more and more of his competitors in the field are attempting to position themselves as players in that medium volume market, which is a market that included all of the above mentioned private medical offices and nursing homes as well school health clinics, public health facilities, first aid stations, home health care, pharmacies, military, as well as public health locations such as airports, hospitality, cruise ships, train stations, and sports and entertainment arenas. To put it simply, business is booming and it's about to get even bigger. Cox tells BioMedReports that in 2010, his company plans to launch a home unit version of their Demolizer®. "In 2006, we had 8 million Americans that took over 3 billion shots for treating diabetes and other ailments at home," explains Cox. "The World Health Organization and the Diabetes Foundation says that by the year 2016, that number will grow by 165% to 21 million Americans taking over 8 billion shots at home and if you go beyond U.S. borders that number is 50 to 60 billion shots." Now that the science and design has been refined, Cox has clearly focused his team at Biomedical Technology Solutions to be a sales centered, revenue generating organization. A visit to the company website drives that point home and after sitting through the same webinar that is used to reach private practice practitioners, it's easy to see why the company is expecting several substantial sized orders from both in and outside the U.S. in very early 2010. While they could not share details about those large deals publicly yet, they did indicate that those sales appear imminent and would likely bring the company millions of dollars in net profits. The orders are making their way through various negotiation and contract stages, but when announced they could greatly impact shares of the extremely low volume float company in a very positive way. Also in 2010, "We will be very focused on getting that home unit version of their Demolizer® into large chain neighborhood drug stores," says Cox. "We're in discussions with some very enthusiastic distributors, but can't really go on record about those details yet." Other companies like Sharps Compliance Corp. (OTC:SMED) which trades at close to $10 per share and Stericycle, Inc. (NASDAQ:SRCL) trade at close to $60 per share use a Sharps Disposal by Mail System. "It's a box mailer with a label on it. That's it," says Cox. "You put your needles in it and you send it via our postal system where errant needles might jab postal workers and don't do anything to reduce the carbon emission impact on the planet." Already those big medical waste management companies have tens of thousands of trucks and vehicles collecting bio-hazardous materials from medical facilities all over the country using up fossil fuels and causing carbon-emissions. It's an out-dated process that's non-environmentally friendly and frankly, quite expensive." Emissions are an important factor that Cox considered last year when the company upgraded it's filtration technology to to better manage the emissions and odors generated when heating blood, body fluids, plastics and other organic materials during the sterilization of those biomedical waste loads. "This is a market that is so massive and monstrous that there will never be any one individual company that will control it," says Cox who also realizes that if his company pushes a mere 25,000 Demolizer® units into the marketplace in a three to five year period, they will own less than three percent of the U.S. market. Yet that goal would easily give his company a half billion dollar market cap. Especially since their efficient operations and in-house manufacturing process provide the company a 65% gross margin operation. The company's chart looks healthy and clearly climbing in an uptrend from recent lows, so it's difficult not to see shares of this company starting to trade higher almost immediately. Long term, this could turn out to be a great way for small-cap investors to get into the booming regulated medical waste market using a great upside, low-risk opportunity.
