About Biotectix
Biotectix is developing a new class of conductive polymer materials and coatings for implantable devices and sensors that improve the safety, longevity, reliability, biological integration, and function of implantable biomedical devices. A number of benefits are driven by this platform technology without changing device size, shape, or implant procedure, including improved electrical performance, biocompatibility, and tissue response. The technology addresses key limitations faced by the medical device industry including foreign body reactions, component stability, and long-term electrical performance in vivo. The materials are custom-designed for the specialized mechanical, electrical, and biological environments of the body, and provide an extremely high level of functional interfacing for medical electrodes. Biotectix was formed by Allied Minds, a private equity company, based on technology originally developed at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The founders and inventors continue to develop and validate the technology through research, collaborations, and partnerships with leading companies and research institutions. www.biotectix.com.
