Platform Technology
Bio-inspired zwitterionic chemistry for better, safer medical implants. FDA Cleared, Antibiotic-free.
How It Works
Zwitterionic molecules create a hydration barrier that resists protein and bacterial adhesion—mimicking natural cell membranes.
Covalent bond to substrate
Permanent surface transformation
Bio-inspired hydration barrier
Mimics natural cell membranes to resist the host immune system's foreign body response
Sterilization compatible
Compatible with Ethylene Oxide (EtO) and Gamma irradiation
