New coatings for next-generation medical implants

We develop a disruptive coating technology for medical implants using bioactive nano-surfaces that markedly promote soft and hard tissue integration while, significantly reducing inflammation and risk of infections.
NuMat's coatings can be the first implant surface to provide outstanding combined functional activities with a highly cost-effective and sustainable bioinspired approach.

Bioactive Surfaces under Development

NuMat’s technology is based on the immobilization on the implant surface of natural molecules abundant in nature, especially in plants grains and legumes, and common in human diet.

NuMat’s innovative coating technology aims to address relevant unmet medical needs in the implant market by promoting soft and hard tissue integration while reducing inflammation and the risk of infections. This can significantly improve the outcomes of implant treatments, enhancing overall health condition and Quality of Life for a large number of patients, while optimizing healthcare costs as a consequence of implant’s reduced revision rates and shorter recovery times.

Flavonoid surface

NM_973

Bioactive surface modified with flavonoids with osteogenic, osteoinductive, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties, and significant reduction of bacterial colonization.

Phytic acid surface

NM_977

Bioactive surface modified with phytate for improving bone integration and reducing the risk of infection, with antimicrobial effect and anti-inflammatory response.

Technology for the Future

The product profile is structured around a multifunctional activity of the implant surface with the aim of reducing the risk of implant failure.

The coating production process is simple, scalable and cost-effective. It is based on wet chemistry: the chemical reaction takes place by simple immersion of the implant piece in a solution containing the coating substance under controlled temperature, pressure and humidity, and can therefore be easily applied to several types of surfaces and shapes.
