Mission
We empower medical device companies for success. With our polymer surface coating solutions, we elevate the quality and performance of every medical device we engage with and enhance the safety of these devices for patients.
Vision
To be the surface-modifying chemistry experts within the medical technology industry and the preferred partner for solving complex clinical challenges surrounding device-induced inflammation and thrombosis.
Polyzene-F NanoCoating
Distinct from other polymers due to its ultra-purity, elasticity and ultra-high molecular weight, Polyzene-F (PzF) nanocoated implants result in safe, highly biocompatible implants.
Xero-Gel Drug-Coated PTCA Balloon
The novel Xero-Gel Drug-Coated PTCA Balloon with bioactive medical coating is designed to optimize non-proliferative drug delivery to address small vessel stenosis, restenosis and bifurcations.
History of Commercial Success
Cardiology - COBRA PzF NanoCoated Coronary Stent (NCS)
PzF nanocoated, non drug-eluting coronary stent allows physicians to safely and effectively treat patients with short 1-month DAPT.1
Oncology/Radiology - Embozene™ Microspheres
PzF nanocoated spheres are designed to be virtually “invisible” to the body, reducing inflammation and unwanted tissue reaction.
Product acquired by Boston Scientific in 2015. Read Press Release.
Oncology/Drug Elution - Tandem™ Microspheres
Embozene TANDEM® Microspheres are spherical, tightly calibrated, biocompatible, non-resorbable, hydrogel microspheres coated with an inorganic perfluorinated polymer (Polyzene®-F). They are available in a range of sizes suitable for embolic therapy.
