Petoskey, Michigan (PRWEB) April 07, 2015 -- IXü LLC announces a new collaboration project to develop improved female condoms, including a mixing of miniaturized electronics (e.g. vibe) for enhanced stimulation.
IXü recently partnered with a private party also interested in improving female condoms and together are promoting the IXü collaboration project. The project is soliciting other female condom developers and funding for support.
Participation in the project is expected to create several new variations of female condoms, some with embedded, patented miniaturized electronics, i.e. wearable, even wireless, condom innovations.
IXü LLC, http://www.ixullc.com, holds several global patents on wearable tech female condoms.
IXü CEO Brian Osterberg says, “This is a major step to speed up female condom innovation. We have definitive data showing female condoms with electronic vibe devices attached are extremely 'agreeable' to users.” (http://www.ixullc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/VA-VibeStudy.pdf)
“We want to expand and showcase the tremendous potential for wearable tech mixed together with female condoms,” says Osterberg, “and we welcome any outside participation to explore the possibilities.”
“Bill and Melinda Gates and the Gates Foundation were the first to spark public participation in new condom ideas with their condom contest and funding. We want to build on that initiative and continue to create innovation alliances with existing intellectual property,” says Osterberg.
