November, 2009 Isoflux Biomed Licenses Radiopaque Coating for Medical DevicesIsoflux Biomed, a provider of medical device coatings and surface treatments, announced today that it has signed a License Agreement with an undisclosed medical device manufacturer. Under this agreement, Isoflux has granted an exclusive, worldwide license to the manufacturer to use its VisTa™ tantalum radiopaque coating on their products. The VisTa coating technology was developed by Isoflux Biomed to provide increased radiopacity to devices that are difficult to visualize under fluoroscopy. “Isoflux is pleased to grant the first license to our proprietary radiopaque tantalum coating,” said David Glocker, Ph.D., president of Isoflux Biomed. “We believe there is an increasing need for radiopacity as devices are becoming smaller and more difficult to visualize. Our coating technology allows for the entire surface to be coated and thereby dramatically increases the visibility of the device and facilitates more accurate placement.” About Isoflux Biomed Isoflux Biomed develops customized inorganic coatings and plasma surface treatments for medical devices. Using its innovative surface engineering technology and equipment, Isoflux enhances device features by providing such properties as radiopacity, drug delivery, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and lubricity. Isoflux also provides the manufacturing equipment necessary to implement its coating processes. Contact: Margy Lydon |
