Bio-Gate AG
About Bio-Gate AG
Bio-Gate is a medical technology company that employs silver technology to endow materials and products with antimicrobial properties. The focus of the product portfolio is medical technology products. The company's different technologies are also used to refine cosmetics, consumer goods and industrial products. nnBio-Gate technology is based on the antimicrobial activity of silver ions. The company employs only pure metallic silver. Bio-Gate uses two different technologies. In a, silver particles are incorporated into cosmetics, paints, veneers or plastics. The second involves coating final products - such as implants or wound dressings - with a silver-containing functional layer. Both technologies use extremely small particles of silver, to ensure that as many silver ions as possible are released. The particles used are small, spongy and porous, which promotes silver ion release. Another advantage is that particle structure aims to allow very precise dosage and sustained effects. The aim of nanotechnology is to change the properties of substances by reducing the size of their particles. Free nanoparticles make ointments creamier, sausage pinker, surfaces water-repellent or render materials that were originally soft harder than steel. This is not what Bio-Gate does.nThe company exploit silver's natural antimicrobial activity to refine products. The company's coating technology uses particles that are as small as those used in nanotechnology, so that the original properties of the coated products are unchanged. There is no risk from free nanoparticles, as only an extremely small number of the finest silver particles are firmly bound to the surface of the product. When silver is added to plastics, paints or cosmetics, the "microsilver" particles are much larger than nanoparticles. They are embedded in the mass and are not present as free nanoparticles. Products refined by Bio-Gate are officially certified. This is the difference between the company's company and low-cost Asian producers. Some products undergo approval, test and certification phases that can last from a few months to several years. Bio-Gate customers are global players and not infrequently the market leaders in their branch. Tests are performed for these customers until all conceivable risks have been excluded.nBio-Gate products protect their health - their most important possession.

Axxia Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on implantable, polymeric drug delivery technologies. Axxia has a biocompatible, subcutaneous drug delivery device that delivers an opiate continuously for 30-90 days with zero-order kinetics. This form of delivery has the advantage of preventing abuse, guaranteeing patient compliance, and lowering the risk of addiction. The company's first application will deliver hydromorphone for treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain. The hydromorphone implant will be targeted first to treating cancer patients, of which experience severe chronic pain near the end of life. Although chronic cancer pain is most efficiently treated with opiates, opiates are effectively banned outside of North America, Europe and Japan because of concerns of diversion and abuse. The hydromorphone implant answers the call for an inexpensive treatment that provides continuous dosing and is hard to abuse.
