ICET has addressed these and developed highly lubricious and efficacious surface coating formulations with antimicrobial properties. Such formulations are coatable on silicone, polyurethane, PVC, and latex devices. The coating process is simple such as dip coating and a few milligrams of the coating could provide active protection. Ready to coat or custom formulations can be provded. Ready-coat formulations for medical grade silicone tubing or devices are also available. Such coatings applied on Foley catheters have been found to be biocompatible and these materials are in the process of being clinical evaluated. The application of ICET formulations to a medical device requires FDA approval. ICET is willing to provide supporting data during the application process under a suitable agreement. Coating services on a lab scale, pilot scale and manufacturing will be provided under a suitable contract. Our business process is (1) Assessment of client's needs, (2) Feasibility study on a cost share basis with rthe customer, (3) Customization: the chemical formula, process, and concentrations are optimized to meet the product performance, (4) An application specific license agreement or a mutually acceptable alternative business agreement. Alternatively ICET could be the exclusive supplier of the antimicrobials for the specific application, (5) Pilot manufacture and technical support.
