Founded out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Langer Lab, the company has developed the next-generation biofunctional surface platform - which is focused on achieving clinical benefits that far exceed current market offerings containing silver, heparin, and antibiotic coatings. Through covalent chemical bonding of their Semprus Surfaces™, a permanent non-leaching biomaterial modification to the device surface, their technology is expected to vastly improve patient outcomes by preventing serious medical complications, such as infection, blood clots, improper healing, and cell overgrowth.
