Nano-coating Technique to Accelerate Bone Healing and Targeted Drug Delivery

BioTomo (Biomimetics) is a unique a new innovative company with a range of highly bioactive bone repair and regeneration biomaterials with a controlled surface chemistry and IP protected nano-coating technology designed to enhance bioactivity and hence accelerate bone healing, supply good mechanical strength, and be fully resorbed and replaced by bone.

Through a proprietary IP protected manufacturing process, these materials once implanted, the key proteins for osteointegration are harnessed by bioactive coatings that initiates direct bone cell proliferation, adhesion and differentiation.



Next generation biomaterials such as BioAlmog® and Biostar® represent a major breakthrough in the treatment of bone disorders and slow drug delivery in the prevention of infection after an orthopaedic or maxillofacial surgery.
Biotomos’ osteoinductive bone repair and regeneration materials and absorbable devices can be used by surgeons and clinicians to regenerate bone in orthopaedic fractures, the spine and in cases involving bone loss due to trauma, disease or surgery.

Nanocoating technology uses ceramic oxides, mix oxides, and calcium phosphates for corrosion protection, increased surface hardness and increased bioactivity for metallic materials using low temperature processes. Currently titanium and cobalt chromium alloys have been successfully coated with a range of ceramics. New generation optical coatings are also in progress for energy saving applications. The patented platform of technologies holds the potential to transform surgical outcomes for patients and surgeons by increasing surgical efficiency and reducing healing time. Biotomo's bone repair materials have high mechanical properties for appropriate load bearing characteristics. In addition some of the thin film coated materials and devices, (with the use of appropriate material selection and design), can be utilised as corrosion barrier or abrasion resistant protective coatings in a range of engineering applications.
