CMD-COAT™: A New Platform For Nanogel Innovation

Hydrophilic. Loadable. Durable. Scalable. Our patented nanogel platform is transforming medical device coatings — enabling multi-API delivery, superior passive protection, and a new approach to antimicrobial resistance.

CMD-COAT™ enhances device performance with exceptional coverage — all without disrupting existing manufacturing processes. Discover the innovations behind our solutions.

Behind the Breakthroughs

Advanced Coating Technology

Water-based Process

Our entire coating system — from formulation to process and application — is water-based. This creates a highly stable, biocompatible foundation with no need for aggressive solvents.

  • Multilayer, cross-linked nanogel coating
  • Nanogel structure remains intact — never released into the body
  • Strong covalent bonds

Platform for API Delivery

Our advanced platform can be loaded with up to six APIs — both water-soluble or insoluble. The patented polymer system enables targeted, progressive release up to 30 days.

Flexible. Durable. Compatible.

CMD-COAT™ forms an ultra-thin layer with exceptional bonding strength. It works on extremely narrow diameters and adapts to even the most sensitive or complex devices without affecting flexibility or function.

Passive Coating, Superior Protection

Even without APIs, CMD-COAT™ provides best-in-class device protection. The hydrophilic coating resists fouling from blood, proteins, and microbes — constantly protecting device surfaces.

Innovative APIs

Novel Mode of Action

A century after penicillin, we’re entering a new era of antibiotics. Our patented pyrimidine-based APIs reinvent how we target the bacterial cell wall — hitting multiple points to shut down even the toughest drug-resistant infections. This pleiotropic mechanism disrupts antimicrobial resistance, stopping infections at the source. 

Engineered to Outpace Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is rising — turning manageable infections into serious threats. Our APIs work with antibiotics to enhance their effect, lower required doses, and have shown strong results in major clinical trials — with no known resistance. 

Fluometacyl®: Dual-action API

Our patented API is built from a metabolite of an FDA-approved drug with full toxicology data. It delivers strong efficacy without added regulatory burden. When Fluometacyl® is paired with CMD-COAT™, it produces the first dual-action coating with both antimicrobial and antithrombotic properties.

Future Applications

Medical device coatings are just the beginning. Our APIs are built for two key paths: 

Manufacturing-Ready. Scalable by Design.

CMD-COAT™ was engineered not just for performance, but for seamless integration into medical device manufacturing
— with no added time, complexity, or environmental burden.

Water-Based, Solvent-Free Process

Our entire coating technology is built around a water-based process. That means no solvents, no special curing, and no additional risk to operators or the environment.
Solvent-free formulation

Water-based mixing and application

Room temperature processing

No UV curing, thermal treatment, or post-processing required

More ecofriendly than solvent-based systems

Fast, Simple, and Familiar

CMD-COAT™ requires no complex chemical reactions during application. Coating time matches current industry best practices — so there’s no retooling or slowing down the line.
Coating process completes in 24 hours

No change to production timelines

Pre-mixed materials — no on-site chemistry required

Easy adoption with existing workflows

Wide Material Compatibility

The coating forms a stable bond across a broad range of materials — including plastics, metals, and biological tissues. It provides long-lasting medical device protection without degrading surfaces or affecting performance.
Bonds to plastics, metals, and biological tissues

Ultra-thin yet durable layer

No material deterioration

Maintains flexibility and function

Full Coverage - Inside and Out

CMD-COAT™ delivers complete surface protection — covering both interior and exterior surfaces, even on complex device geometries.
Compatible with standard methods like dip-coating and flow-coating, it reliably coats even the narrowest internal diameters, including multi-lumen catheters.

Solving Critical Risks in IV Catheters

Bloodstream infections from IV catheters can cost up to $46,000 per episode and carry a 15% mortality rate. Thrombosis affects up to 18% of patients, compounding risk and driving up costs. Existing coatings offer limited protection. CMD-COAT™ goes further.

Paired with our patented Fluometacyl® API, it delivers first-of-its-kind dual protection against both infection and thrombosis — all in a single, ultra-thin, hydrophilic layer.

CMD-COAT™ is designed to scale across insertable and implantable devices — and beyond.

Expanding What’s Possible

IV catheters are just the beginning. Our nanogel platform, CMD-COAT™, is designed to enhance safety and performance across a wide range of medical devices — from high-risk insertables to long-term implants.

Potential applications span:

With programmable API delivery, exceptional passive protection, and potential for new API formats, it’s a new frontier for coating technology.
