"Up 93.02% in morning trading"

Based in Montvale, NJ, Ivivi Technologies, Inc. is a medical technology company focusing on designing, developing and commercializing its proprietary electrotherapeutic technology platform, with a primary focus on developing treatments for cardiovascular disease.

The Company's most recent clinical studies have shown reductions in anginal pain and increases in blood flow to the heart in certain cardiac patients; however, additional studies will be focused in this area. The Company also expects to seek strategic partners to pursue other markets, such as osteoarthritis, neurology and other inflammatory-related conditions if FDA marketing approvals or clearances can be achieved in these areas.
