Koatum

Koatum is a MedTech startup that developed a medical implant coating technology for dental and orthopaedic implants. Koatum prevents inflammation and accelerates bone integration, for a faster, painless recovery. Technology provides opportunity to coat any materials which could not be coated with plasma sputtering due to the high temperatures involved. An inert first layer is ensuring perfect formation between implant and coating. Upper layers, made from hydroxyapatite without the intense heat used in plasma coating, remain bioactive and durable. Technology also provides the ability to implement drug delivery systems. With Koatum technology surgeon can design a customised coating solution tailored to the patient’s needs.
