Nerites™ is developing novel tissue repair products and coatings that prevent bacterial adhesion to medical devices. Our products are based on unique water-resistant adhesive technology developed at Northwestern University. Nerites Medhesive™ product is the only synthetic water resistant adhesive available. Our BactoBlock™ coatings are being developed to improve the performance of existing medical devices by preventing bacterial adhesion and supporting tissue repair.

Both BactoBlock coatings and Medhesive adhesives can be customized to meet customer specifications for surface characteristics, workflow, use environment, and performance requirements.
