About Us
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.
Thirty years ago, BioInteractions Founder Ajay Luthra envisioned enhancing patient therapies through more effective biocompatible treatments.
To realize this vision, he established BioInteractions, aiming to improve the performance and lifespan of various medical devices, such as stents, valves, and catheters, by developing state-of-the-art materials. BioInteractions created TridAnt®, an innovative antimicrobial technology designed to block, repel, and eliminate a wide range of harmful microbes and pathogens.
