Welcome to Camstent

Leader in Bacteriaphobic® Coating Technology for Medical Devices

Our novel Bacteriaphobic® (Bacteria-repelling) coating technology protects patients from infections using medical device coatings.

Bacteriaphobic® coating for Silicon-based medical devices

Camstent’s surface coating resist bacteria colonisation and inhibit biofilm development. These coatings can play a major role in the fight against catheter acquired urinary tract infections which account for 75% of all hospital infections. Camstent micro-thin patented polymer coating also reduces friction to aid insertion/withdrawal for added patient comfort.

Camstent Coatings

Our coating can be applied to medical devices manufactured from: Silicone, Latex & Silicone Latex, Polyolefin based Elastomer (POBE), PVC, Polyurethane, TPE, Polyethylene, LDPE & LLDPE, Nylon.

Applications

Patent-protected coating is applied to indwelling Foley catheters which inhibits the biofilm formation that can accumulate thereby helping to prevent hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Camstent’s non-eluting polymer coating can be applied to consumable medical products, such as catheters, endotracheal tubes, chest drain tubes, cannulas etc.
