ISSAC Medical Corporation has created the Issac Award for Innovation

Silicone-based combination products eligible for IAI consideration are defined by the
FDA as: A product comprised of two or more regulated components,

The award program is open to university research departments and
companies employing less than 25 people. "There is amazing research
being conducted with combination products," says Mark Paulsen,
director of business development at ISSAC, "we want to encourage that,
and putting up a substantial cash prize was the best way to demonstrate
ISSACıs commitment to this field."
The Award carries a U.S. $10,000. cash prize.
ISSAC reports that initial response to the IAI award program has been robust.
The company expects a further escalation of entries from universities research
