SiNtx Technologies shares surged on heavy volume after the silicon-nitride producer said its application for a U.S. patent on production of a ceramic material used in medicine had been approved.

The stock, which touched a 52-week low of $2.75 on Friday, was up 74% to $4.99 Monday. Shares are down about 93% this year. Volume was more than 63 million shares, compared with a 65-day average of 92,261.

The Salt Lake City company said the patent covers novel methods of bonding bioactive silicon nitride, or mixtures of silicon nitride and bioactive glass, to zirconia-toughened alumina and similar material surfaces. This invention is designed to impart silicon nitride's beneficial biomedical properties, the company said.

The allowance is expected to result in the issuance of a patent after the completion of administrative processes. SiNtx said it now has 16 issued patents in the U.S. and an additional 84 pending patent applications in worldwide.
