Patents

Palmaz Scientific holds nearly 100 U.S. and international patents issued and over 100 patent applications pending on its technologies including thin-film technologies and physical vapor deposition process innovations for use in manufacturing medical implantable devices. With an innovative approach to the design and manufacture of implantable materials, Palmaz Scientific is poised to leverage its intellectual property portfolio to create safer and more predictable implantable prosthetic devices. Much of the Palmaz Nanotechnology Platform results from the three discoveries that:

  1. Biometals of high purity and ordered structure can be fabricated using physical vapor deposition.
  2. Thin film metals can be used to produce low profile implantable devices.
  3. Topographical patterns at the microscopic level can positively influence cell colonization of prosthetic surfaces.

The Palmaz Nanotechnology Platform is potentially a game changing technology, addressing many potential applications that could provide Palmaz Scientific entre into several multi billion dollar market categories.
