Biomedical Materials & Device Coatings
Challenge:
Developing advanced medical devices and therapies often requires specialized biocompatible materials with unique functional properties.
VUP Solutions:
VUP is the unique global producer of O,O'-Bis(3-aminopropyl)polyethyleneglycol (DAPEG), a high-value intermediate used to create lubricious, hydrophilic coatings for vascular intervention devices and other surgical applications. Building on this, we have developed pilot capabilities for PEG-diacrylamide (PEGDAA), a derivative with significant potential in tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and drug delivery systems. Our R&D team actively collaborates with partners like DSM Biomedical in this area.
