Alta Biomed

Alta Biomed, founded in 2018 and based in San Diego, is a developer and manufacturer of proprietary surface coating technologies for medical devices. Its core asset is the Polyzene-F (PzF) nanocoating, a highly biocompatible polymer engineered to reduce thrombosis and inflammation. The company operates primarily as a B2B service provider, offering coating services, hemocompatibility testing, and co-development partnerships to medical device OEMs, leveraging a technology with a prior commercial exit to Boston Scientific.

Proprietary Polyzene-F (PzF) nanocoating, an inorganic perfluorinated polymer designed to be highly biocompatible, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and pro-healing for medical device surfaces.

Alta Biomed competes with other medical device coating companies offering passive polymer coatings, hydrophilic coatings, and drug-eluting technologies. Key differentiators are PzF's specific anti-thrombotic/anti-inflammatory claims and its historical validation in commercially acquired products. Competition also comes from in-house coating expertise at large device OEMs.
