LipoCoat© is an awarded high-tech company based in The Netherlands that develops bio-inspired coating for improved safety and comfort in healthcare. Our unique technology combines patented processes and formulations to universally integrate our technology in already already existing production lines to upgrade medical devices. Our mission and vision to deliver high-performance coating solutions to improve people’s lives while improving healthcare worldwide.
The coating uses highly polar headgroups of the phospholipids causing LipoCoat© coatings to have highly lipophilic surfaces with excellent anti-fouling propetries. The coating is biocompatible, scalable, safe, PFAS-free, makes use only of non-animal components and is ISO 10993 certified. LipoCoat® coatings offer full protection against pathogen attachment and biofilm formation. The improvements in wettability and lubricity increase user comfort and safety which overall results in better healthcare for the patients. The simple one-step dip coating process requires no curing steps, polymerization or UV treatment. In addition, no harsh chemicals, pharmaceuticals or active compounds are processed into the final products.

Pipeline
LipoCoat contact lens products are aimed at improving comfort and safety properties of the contact lens materials by increasing surface wetting, increasing surface lubricity and reduce surface contamination by reducing deposits and bacterial build-up on the lens material. We develop surface coatings that can be adapted for use on rigid gas permeable contact lenses, soft contact lenses and can be provided as an additive to lens care solutions. Contact lens coating products are prepared for CE-clearance.
Eye care
Contact lenses are commonly used medical devices to manage refractive errors. It is estimated that approximately 150 million people wear contact lenses worldwide. Several complications are associated with wearing contact lenses such as discomfort, eye infections, dry eyes and corneal neovascularization.
LipoCoat contact lens products are aimed at improving comfort and safety properties of the contact lens materials by increasing surface wetting, increasing surface lubricity and reduce surface contamination by reducing deposits and bacterial build-up on the lens material.
Catheters
Catheters are one of the leading causes of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). LipoCoat catheter products provide a passive and drug-less solution to reduce biofilm formation, improve blood compatibility and prevent tissue damage. LipoCoat coatings can be applied without the need for curing steps, polymerization or UV treatment. Process and thickness control is programmed into our molecular design. In addition, no harsh chemicals, pharmaceuticals or active compounds are processed into the final products. Catheter coating products for urology and cardiovascular catheters are in development.
