Products
JOCOAT
A high-molecular-weight polymer-based liquid adhesion barrier under clinical development for use in orthopedic surgeries (knee, shoulder, ankle, hip). Applied intraoperatively; flows through the joint and forms a temporary physical barrier film to mechanically separate tissues.
IPCOAT
A high-molecular-weight polymer-based liquid adhesion barrier under clinical development for gynecologic and abdominal surgeries. Applied intraoperatively into the abdominopelvic cavity where it flows and forms a temporary barrier film across tissues.
TENCOAT (in development)
Liquid adhesion barrier under development intended for tendon surgery applications.
VERCOAT (in development)
Liquid adhesion barrier under development intended for spine surgery applications.
