BioInteractions, a UK biomaterial technology company, has launched its expanded Product Pathway Partnership service incorporating bespoke coatings, optimised application and tooling, testing, regulatory support, and commercial production, at MD&M West.
The company, which is responsible for creating and developing the ground-breaking coating technology for medical devices TridAnt, as well as the Astute and Assist solutions, is announcing this new service aimed at advancing organisations ability to navigate the complicated medical device market quicker and more efficiently.
Announcing the expansion of the company’s high-end consulting services, Arjun Luthra, commercial director of BioInteractions, said: “Universally, medical product developers and manufacturers navigate a highly regulated and particularly constrained environment. Our Product Pathway Partnership team closely work with you to navigate all areas including fixture design and tooling, biocompatibility testing, optimising the coating application process, regulatory compliance and optimising your commercial manufacturing. We provide guidance along a strategic pathway with a focus on offering a flexible approach to meeting all of the ever-revolving regulatory demands, the aim of which is to get you to market in the most effective way possible.”
A critical part of ensuring that medical devices meet regulatory requirements is to test for coating efficacy and biocompatibility. During this process, the coating functions are examined to ensure that they are effective, as well as ensuring that the device is durable and safe for patients. As a provider of medical coating systems for a range of devices, BioInteractions can improve coating efficacy for devices with complex geometries by optimising their materials for use with its portfolio of products. Alongside the expanded Product Pathway Partnership, the company’s integrated service streamlines the research and development process of new coated devices using its expertise and novel analytical resources to determine the best coating for your device.
BioInteractions offers various high-performance biocompatible coatings with proven engineered clinical efficacy that expand functionality and broaden design options for engineers including; TridAnt a non-leaching, safe and durable antimicrobial coating that has been proven effective against pathogens including E.coli, MRSA, Flu, Vaccina, Norovirus and SARS-COV. The application of TridAnt to medical implants reduces the risk of infection, shortens the treatment time and helps to improve the well-being of patients who undergo a range of clinical procedures. The technology is a culmination of three decades of dedicated research and trials, the result of which is a material which complies with the latest medical device regulations and has been independently tested by medical device manufacturers to international standards (ISO, EN, PAS).
