texsel biomimetic coatings

texsel biomimetic coatings have a textured appearance with nano-micron sized surface features. The coating has been developed to promote morphological similarities to natural structures and to increase the surface area of the coating.

Application examples

| Fabrication of coatings having determined surface properties in terms of wettability and surface area to accommodate the needs for a specific application.

The texsel advantage

| Fabrication of drug-eluting matrices for combination devices
| Biomimicity for enhanced healing
| Customized surface features in the nano-micro meter range
| Three-dimensional structure with increased surface area

texsel materials

Medical grade materials ranging from natural and non-degradable to bioresorbable polymers, which can be loaded with active agents. Suitable for heat- sensitive substances.

Biocompatibility

The texture of a material has an influence on the biocompatibility and performance of medical devices. For example, surface texture seems to play an important role during endothelium formation at the stent surface.
ioos' nano-micro textured materials may enhance the biocompatibility of medical implants by providing a determined nano-micro structure.

Biomimicity

(from bios, meaning life, and mimesis, meaning to imitate) is a design discipline that seeks solutions by emulating nature’s patterns and strategies, e.g., a material inspired by advantageous characteristics of the extracellular matrix (ECM).
