About BioInteractions

At BioInteractions we believe in advancing health through innovation; by increasing the effectiveness of pharmaceutical treatments to complement, improve and ultimately replace drug-based therapies and to be guided by an approach which embraces durability, efficacy and the safety of the patient.

Company Overview

BioInteractions Ltd is a research and development company specialising in biocompatible material technologies for the worldwide medical device industry.

Based in purpose-built laboratories in the Thames Valley Science Park at the University of Reading, the company develops advanced and specialised coatings for devices used in medical treatments and procedures ranging from class 1 to class 3 implants.

We have been a critical supplier to the medical device industry for over 30 years and supported key medical device manufacturers through their innovative materials. Our portfolio of multi-action materials confronts chronic challenges such as thrombus formation, infections, complications at the tissue-device interface and various other biocompatible challenges faced by our partners.

BioInteractions has secured licensing contracts with major medical device manufacturers around the world and, in 2002, won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for a biocompatible coating that was the first to combine multiple elements for enhanced long-term antithrombogenic activity for all materials and shapes in just one coating.
