BioInteractions have developed three unique polymer coatings to help tackle these concerns:
Astute®
Anti-thrombogenic Coating
Triple-Endothelial Action
Astute functionalises heparin within its polymer backbone, combined with a negative charge and physical repulsion actively prevents a thrombus from forming on the device surface.
Astute® Triple Endothelial Action:
- Actively negates platelet activation
- Promotes laminar flow which prevents protein and cellular deposition
- Non-leaching coating results in long term efficacy throughout lifetime of the coating

AvertPlus™
Dual Active Contact Kill Mechanism
Antimicrobial Coating
AvertPlus™ reduces device related infections by using a contact kill mechanism paired with a passive process to prevent the adhesion of proteins and aggregation of bacteria.
AvertPlus™ Dual Active Contact Kill Mechanism:
- Active disruption of cells that results in lysis
- Broad spectrum activity amongst a variety of microorganisms
- Non-leaching coating gives long term efficacy throughout lifetime of the coating

Assist™
Enhanced Lubricious Activity
Hydrophilic Coating
Assist™ minimises the obstacles faced at the device-body interface. The polymer coating provides a highly hydrophilic surface which reduces friction as well as preventing protein binding and platelet deposition.
Assist™ Enhanced Lubricity:
- Non-leaching, non-cytotoxic and stable coating
- Simple and cost effective application process
- Available as UV Cured or Heat Cured
