Bioprex Medical

Bioprex Medical develops an antimicrobial coating technology for application on medical devices and implants. The coating is based on immobilized quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs). Bacterial infections are the main risk when using medical devices and implants. Our aim is to reduce infections associated with the use of medical devices. Our proprietary coating technology efficiently kills bacteria upon contact, without being at risk to elicit bacterial resistance. We can apply our coating on PDMS and on titanium substrates, but our technology has potential for a variety of other materials. Our initial focus is on titanium orthopedic trauma materials (e.g., pins and plates) and urinary catheters (PDMS). Future applications include most indwelling medical devices.
