Technology
Coating concept, colour states, and target catheter use cases.
See the mechanism overview, prototype visual, device focus, and public-facing explanation of the signal process.
The unmet need is not only preventing infection. It is seeing the earliest warning signs sooner.
InfectoLight is positioned as an early warning concept: a passive coating that changes colour in response to microbial activity on catheter surfaces near the insertion site.
Research environment
Interdisciplinary development in Jena.
Our technology
Colour change, not extra equipment.
InfectoLight is being developed as a passive catheter coating: a biocompatible polymer matrix with pH-sensitive dyes intended to produce a visible staged signal in response to microbial activity.
Red baselineInitial coating state before a colour alert is triggered.
Yellow warningLow-level activity is intended to produce an early visible signal.
Blue signalA stronger colour change is intended to indicate a higher level of microbial activity.
