Norfolk Medical pioneered the oncology market in 1981 by developing one of the first vascular access ports for long-term access. Since then, we have continued to develop innovative cutting-edge medical devices. Our latest development is a device for diabetes that allows the body to be insulin independent. Our device is the world's first active immunoisolation device that facilitates the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products while protecting against the bodies immune response without the use of additional drugs or immunosuppressant’s. We are confident that the basic principles of the device can be applied to other applications from anemia and liver failure (NASH) to ALS. We are currently in the pre-clinical stage of research and are actively looking for a strategic partner to develop this product.
