Blue Spark Technologies and Iontera Win Best Commercialization Award at Printed Electronics Europe Show
Cleveland, OH and Providence, RI (PRWEB) April 03, 2014 -- Blue Spark Technologies and Iontera announce that they have won the best commercialization in printed electronics at the IDTechEX Printed Electronics Europe 2014 show.
Iontera is the developer of the innovative, new, BIOBLISS cosmetic wrinkle reducing patch. With proven clinical safety and efficacy in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, BIOBLISS users have been amazed by the results reducing wrinkles on the forehead and the crow’s feet area around the eyes. The BIOBLISS Patch operates using a micro-current process that gently pushes dermatologist-approved anti-wrinkle ingredients to the skin faster and more effectively than possible with a topical cream or lotion.
The BIOBLISS patch micro-current process is made possible through the use of conductive and printed materials along with Blue Spark’s thin, flexible, printed battery technology. Both the printed materials and Blue Spark’s printed batteries utilize high volume, roll-to-roll screen-printing processes for efficient manufacturing. The net result is a thin, flexible, disposable, micro-current delivery mechanism that conforms to the skin and is soft to the touch, which is the perfect application for printed electronics.
“Printed electronic technology was the key enabler to the soft, conformal qualities of the BIOBLISS patch,” commented Iontera’s CEO, Chris Hobson, “Blue Spark’s printed batteries provide the quality, reliability, and flexibility needed for this ground breaking product.”
John Gannon, Blue Spark President and CEO, notes: “The combination of Iontera’s BIOBLISS micro current delivery system and Blue Spark’s printed battery technology has resulted in great commercial success for the printed electronics industry. We are honored to be recognized by IDTechEx for this award.”
Commercial Success
BIOBLISS was originally launched in professional spas and salons. Following on that success, the product was picked up by high end US retailers Bergdorf Goodman and Nieman Marcus. In January 2014 the product debuted to critical success on the Home Shopping Network TV outlet, selling out the forehead product in just twenty minutes. BIOBLISS is on track to be distributed by two additional major US retailers by mid-2014. Patches can also be ordered directly from the BIOBLISS website, http://www.biobliss.com
