Overview
TheraDep Technologies is a private, early-stage company developing a proprietary dry-coating platform based on Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology. Their BioDep™ process enables the covalent bonding of proteins, peptides, and pharmaceuticals to surfaces like metals, polymers, and ceramics without heat or chemical binders, preserving biomolecule integrity. The company targets four primary verticals: functionalized microplates for assays, coated medical devices, drug-eluting endovascular implants, and scalable coating systems for manufacturing integration. As a platform technology provider, TheraDep is positioned in the high-growth drug delivery and advanced medical coatings sector.
Technology Platform
BioDep™ process utilizing Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) to covalently bond bioactive molecules (proteins, peptides, pharmaceuticals) to surfaces in a single, dry, room-temperature step without chemical binders.

Competitive Landscape
TheraDep competes with traditional wet-coating chemical suppliers, physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) equipment makers, and specialized medical coating firms. Its differentiation lies in the dry, low-temperature, covalent bonding process that preserves biomolecule function, but it must displace entrenched technologies and prove cost-effectiveness at scale.
