Axiom Worldwide Joins Certified Space Technology Program

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May. 17, 2007) — The Space Foundation announced that Axiom Worldwide is a sublicense partner with X-1R lubricants, a Lifetime Certified Space Technology. Axiom Worldwide, headquartered in Tampa, Fla., is a medical technology company that creates non-surgical therapeutic equipment for healthcare providers to improve the quality of patient’s lives.

“The Space Foundation is happy to recognize Axiom as a sublicense partner through their use of X-1R lubricants,” said Kevin Cook, director of Space Technology Awareness for the Space Foundation. “This partnership recognizes a unique combination of advanced medical technology with a Lifetime Certified Space Technology.”

The DRX9000 True Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression System(TM) is a medical device that accomplishes spinal column decompression and healing without pharmaceuticals or surgery. This FDA-cleared device accomplishes spinal elongation similar to that experienced in a micro-gravity environment.

Today, Axiom uses X-1R lubricants on subsystems critical to the DRX9000. This exclusive alliance combines X-1R’s years of extreme-performance lubrication research and Axiom’s spinal decompression expertise to improve the lives of thousands who suffer from lower back and neck pain. X-1R and Axiom Worldwide are also developing a line of co-branded lubrication and cleaning products based on DRX9000 research for use in a range of medical products including non-competitive medical OEM manufacturers.

The Space Certification program was created by the Space Foundation, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to raise awareness and understanding about space and the significant and practical benefits of technologies originally developed for the space program, which have been adapted into products and services that improve life on Earth.
