SINTX Technologies Provides Business Update Highlighting Strategic Focus to Medical Device Commercialization
May 15 2025 - 7:05AM
SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT), an advanced ceramics
company pioneering medical and antipathogenic applications of
silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), today provided a comprehensive update on
its operational progress, strategic initiatives, and financial
position for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
“We are executing a disciplined transformation
that aligns our core capabilities in advanced ceramics with
fast-growing, high-impact healthcare applications. This transition
positions us for sustainable value creation,” said Eric K. Olson,
CEO and President of SINTX Technologies.
Refocusing on High-Growth Medical
Markets
SINTX has accelerated its transition from a
diversified industrial-ceramics business to a pure-play medical
device innovator. Silicon nitride’s proven biocompatibility,
antimicrobial properties, and pro-regenerative properties uniquely
position it for:
- Orthopedic implants
- Spinal fusion devices
- Dental products
- Medical Textiles including: wound
care, surgical masks, sutures, drapes and other antipathogenic
surfaces
This strategic redirection aims to address
large, underserved clinical needs where infection resistance and
osteogenesis and tissue healing are critical.
Technology & Market
Development
Recent scientific and commercial initiatives
include:
- New R&D programs targeting
implantable and antipathogenic products
- An active technology pipeline
focused on surgical-grade silicon nitride devices
- Partnerships and licensing
discussions with leading medical OEMs
- SINTX’s Salt Lake City facility
remains only FDA-registered and ISO 13485 certified, silicon
nitride ceramic manufacturer
Improved Financial Position
- $6.5 million cash on hand as of
March 31, 2025 – nearly doubling from $3.6 million at year-end
- Recent $5.0 million private
placement in February 2025 supported strategic runway along with
potential to raise an additional $5.0 million dollars from the
exercise of warrants with an exercise price of $3.32 per share of
common stock
- Reduced operating cash burn from
$2.7M in Q1 2024 to $1.3M in Q1 2025 due to cost optimization
Operational Streamlining
- Sale of non-core subsidiary
TA&T to Tethon Corporation
- Workforce reduction and shut down
of underperforming Armor subsidiary
- Initiated negotiations to reduce
long-term lease liabilities, particularly at the Armor
facility
These actions are expected to further unlock
capital for high-return growth projects.
Strengthened Governance and
Leadership
In Q2, the Company welcomed a reconstituted
Board of Directors with new appointments across all Board
committees, reinforcing corporate oversight. In parallel, the
Company entered into new long-term employment agreements with CEO
Eric Olson and CIO Gregg Honigblum .
Path Forward
SINTX is now strategically aligned around:
- Expanding the use of silicon
nitride in medical and antipathogenic markets
- Licensing and commercialization of
proprietary technologies
- Select asset divestitures and
disciplined capital investment
- Building long-term shareholder
value through innovation and execution
“We are grateful for the support of our
shareholders during this transformation. With a stronger balance
sheet, a focused mission, and world-class technology, SINTX is
well-positioned for a new era of innovation and impact in
healthcare,” Olson added.
