SINTX Technologies Sells Technology Assesment and Transfer Subsidiary to Focus on Medical Device Market

Strategic Transaction Enhances Financial Flexibility and Supports Growth in Healthcare Innovations

Salt Lake City, UT, Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT), a leader in advanced ceramics for medical applications, today announced the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Technology Assessment and Transfer (TA&T), to Tethon Corporation DBA Tethon 3D (Tethon). This transaction marks a significant step in SINTX’s ongoing transformation, allowing the Company to sharpen its focus on high-growth opportunities in the medical device sector while improving its financial position and operational efficiency.

The divestment aligns with SINTX’s refined strategy to accelerate innovation in the healthcare space. With this sale, SINTX is streamlining its operations to concentrate on commercializing bioceramic technologies that have the potential to improve patient outcomes and enhance the performance of medical implants and devices. The sale of TA&T also reduces corporate liabilities by $750,000 and lowers annual operating expenses by more than $1.7 million.

“This sale represents an important milestone in our strategic realignment,” said Eric K. Olson, CEO of SINTX Technologies. “By divesting of these assets, we are fully committing our resources to the medical device market, where our expertise in advanced ceramics can have the greatest impact. This transaction not only enhances our financial flexibility but also supports our efforts to accelerate product development and commercialization efforts in healthcare.”

The Company remains dedicated to advancing its proprietary silicon nitride-based technologies, which have been used in human implants since 2008. This renewed emphasis on healthcare innovation underscores SINTX’s confidence in its core technologies and their ability to drive long-term value creation.
