INORGANIC-PROTEIN COATING FOR MAGNESIUM BASED BIOMEDICAL DEVICES

Summary of the technology

● Inorganic/Protein Coating: Protein coating enhances properties of inorganic, enamel based material.
● Ideal for Biomedical Applications: Designed for use in dental and orthopedic implants, the coating is biodegradable. Controlled adsorption reduces the need for secondary surgeries.
● Validated Performance: Lab tests show superior stability, biocompatibility and point to potential applications in complex biological environments.

Details of the Technology Offer

This inorganic-protein hybrid coating addresses a critical need in the dental and orthopedic implant markets for materials that enhance durability, biocompatibility, and resistance to biofouling. This technology aligns with the shift toward patient-friendly, biodegradable implant solutions that eliminate removal procedures. Its adaptability across various biomedical devices recommends it for applications in which gradual absorption and biocompatibility are essential.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:

Enhanced Corrosion and Biofouling Resistance: Protein integration enables a denser, crack-sealing structure, extending the coating's functional lifespan beyond conventional inorganic coatings.
Unique Synergy: Combining the mechanical resilience of tooth enamel with the biological compatibility of a protein creates a robust coating, especially suitable for temporary implants.
Patient-Friendly Biodegradability: Safe adsorption without surgical intervention - in step with modern biomedical design principles.
