CamStent Ltd.

Camstent Ltd. develops patented polymer coatings that prevent hospital acquired infections (HAI), improving patient outcomes while significantly lowering healthcare costs. Its disruptive technology is a spin-out material from the University of Nottingham which changes the physical properties of surfaces to make them inhospitable to bacterial colonisation.  The first product targets Catheter Acquired Urinary Tract Infections [CAUTI], which cause a staggering 38% of all HAI, disproportionately impacting the cost and quality of care for all hospitals and millions of inpatients. The total market for all urological catheter products is estimated to exceed $5 billion by 2025, and coated devices that resist bacterial growth can replace traditional silver- and antibiotic-eluting alternatives to protect vulnerable patients in all settings.

Milestones met together include:

• Market assessment to identify Urological Catheters as a first product, and supplier partnerships for substrate catheters.

• Acquisition of exclusive rights to develop the novel polymer coating for commercial use.

• Recruitment of personnel and facilities to refine the molecule for clinical use.

• Fundraising to finance development based on roof of concept lab results f safety and efficacy

• Establishment of a pilot manufacturing facility to dip-coat product for packaging and sterilisation

• Implementation of a fully-compliant quality system, leading to 13485 certification by Notified Body

• Completion of a proof of concept clinical trial across 5 UK hospitals, demonstrating 95% reduction in bacterial colonisation

• Market awareness and hospital introduction, leading to initial clinical and commercial sales

​

Now operating under in-market management, Camstent plans to grow revenues and leverage its IP into new medical applications,. The Company’s aim is that its anti-microbial product becomes the ‘gold standard’ coating of choice, commanding premium pricing, gaining global market share, and generating partnership opportunities
