VP copolymers

Aegimer™ is a patented family of novel vinyl pyrrolidone copolymers with modified maleates. Aegimer™ vinyl pyrrolidone maleate copolymers are precisely tuneable in their hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance. The polymers show strong affinity to skin substrates and are tuneable to form protective invisable highly waterproof skin barriers. Aegimer™ PVP-Maleate copolymers can be crosslinked forming hydrogel layers onto coated substrates or forming stand-alone gel depots.

Aegimer™ copolymers have been successfully developed towards best-in-class super-lubricious medical device coatings (e.g. catheters and IOL cartridges). PolyVation established a strategic collaboration with one of worlds best coating technology and application companies. 

A strong technology base is available for antimicrobial skin care product formulations and echosonic medical device coatings (like for biopsy needles). Triggered release systems are being developed in an ongoing collaboration.

Aegimer™ is a registered trademark of PolyVation. The patents (matter-of-composition) are all granted in key countries world-wide under which the USA.
