FDA cleared and U.S. manufactured implant system positions SINTX to enter billion-dollar U.S. market SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), a leader in advanced ceramics specializing in biomedical applications of silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), today announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the SINAPTIC® Foot & Ankle Osteotomy Wedge System, enabling SINTX’s commercial entry into reconstructive foot and ankle surgery in the United States. SINTX plans a U.S. commercial launch in Q1 2026, leveraging its U.S.-based manufacturing to drive revenue acceleration and operating efficiency. The SINAPTIC implant system combines SINTX’s proprietary silicon nitride biomaterial with surgeon-informed implant designs and a planned sterile, single-use instrument kit engineered to enhance surgical efficiency, precision and reproducibility. By combining differentiated material science with practical surgical innovation, the SINAPTIC implant system exemplifies SINTX’s strategy to leverage its unique biomaterials platform into scalable, high-value medical solutions that address unmet clinical needs and drive long-term growth. “Orthopedics is evolving beyond traditional materials,” said Lisa Marie Del Re, Chief Commercial Officer. “With growing demand for non-metal solutions, the SINAPTIC system delivers the proven performance of silicon nitride to foot and ankle reconstruction—elevating expectations for surgical outcomes.” As cleared under the FDA submission, some of the material claims of SINTX’s silicon nitride relevant to the device include: Pro-osteogenic: Unique surface chemistry mechanisms have demonstrated superior protein absorption and osteointegration when compared to traditional biomaterials. Bacteriostatic: Surface properties have been shown to actively repel and/or inhibit the growth of various types of bacteria in a laboratory and animal studies. Hydrophilic: Attracts fluids, further deterring bacteria colonization and enhancing bone-building mechanisms. Enhanced visibility on imaging: Unlike metal implants, silicon nitride allows for clear visualization of the surrounding tissues in X-rays and CT scans. “FDA clearance of

Golpo AI secures oversubscribed seed round to transform communication through interactive AI videos SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Golpo, the AI-powered platform that transforms documents and prompts into interactive explainer videos, announced today it has raised $4.1 million in a heavily oversubscribed seed round led by BNVT Capital (spin out from the Gates Foundation and Hedosophia), alongside Emergence Capital, Y Combinator, Afore Capital and others. The raise attracted overwhelming investor demand, forcing the founders to turn away significant additional capital. Golpo was founded by brothers Shraman Kar (19) and Shreyas Kar (20) who dropped out of their computer science degrees at Stanford to realise their vision of making AI video communication practical, scalable, and accessible to everyone. “One year ago, I was sitting in my final high school class, thrilled to be heading to Stanford,” said Shraman Kar, co-founder of Golpo. “If you told me then that I’d drop out a year later to build a company with my brother, I’d have laughed. But some problems are too important to ignore.” The brothers saw a fundamental gap in the AI video landscape. Current generation models like Sora and VEO 3 excel at short, cinematic, and flashy videos (“a dog dancing on the moon”), but fail at practical communication tasks like explaining a 10-step onboarding workflow or teaching multivariable calculus. Their reliance on scaling compute-heavy approaches is both unsustainable and misaligned with real-world use cases. Golpo AI takes a different path. It is purpose-built for explainer videos: Up to 30 minutes of coherent, interactive video (vs. <10 seconds in other models) World’s first customisable AI video platform with frame-by-frame editing, turning one-shot AI generations into controllable, reliable workflows. For the first time, AI videos can actually be reliable 45x cheaper than existing AI video models like VEO Technically
