LipoCoat is a biotech startup that has developed a patented coating technology to improve the surface properties of medical devices. The company's innovative solution addresses common issues such as discomfort and increased infection risk associated with poor wetting, low lubricity, and high fouling of medical devices.

LipoCoat's technology is inspired by the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds every cell in our body, making it naturally biocompatible. This means it can be used safely in the human body without causing harm or adverse reactions. The coating can be applied to medical devices to enhance their performance and safety.

The company's production process is quick and efficient, thanks to its Fast Amphiphile Solution Transfer (FAST) technology. This technology allows for the rapid transfer of amphiphiles, which are compounds that can both attract and repel water, making them ideal for coating applications.

LipoCoat's business model is adaptable to many uses due to its 'toolbox' technology. This means it can offer a range of formulations with adjustable hydrophilicity (water-attracting properties), stability, and lubricity (slipperiness) to complement the inherent anti-biofouling (resistance to the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals) and anti-thrombogenic (preventing blood clots) nature of the coating.

An additional advantage of LipoCoat's technology is its ability to self-repair, which is particularly useful if scratches expose the medical device to the biological environment.

LipoCoat operates in the medical device market, serving clients such as hospitals, clinics, and medical device manufacturers. The company generates revenue by selling its patented coating technology to these clients.
