Initial Focus: Customized Vascular Chemistry
Our initial product is a Semprus SurfacesTM technology that has been custom-designed for vascular applications, such as catheters. Unlike current short-duration coatings which elute agents such as silver, heparin, or antibiotics that can cause toxicity or resistant bacterial strains, our non-leaching technology is designed to endure the lifespan of the device, while simultaneously reducing device-related thrombus and bacterial biofilm formation.
This vascular chemistry has also been tailored to meet the practical and manufacturing considerations of vascular catheters. This includes an ability to modify both narrow lumens and external surfaces with a material that is stable to common flexural and tensile stresses. To expedite product development efforts, the application process has been designed to prevent any measurable impact on the underlying mechanical or dimensional properties of existing devices.
