Tractivus, l’spin-off nascuda de la col\u00b7laboraci\u00f3 entre IDIBELL i el Grup d’Enginyeria de Materials (GEMAT) d’IQS, consolida el seu creixement i l’aven\u00e7 de la seva tecnologia. La companyia, que desenvolupa dispositius m\u00e8dics implantables que eviten la colonitzaci\u00f3 bacteriana, ha tancat molt recentment la seva segona ronda de finan\u00e7ament a trav\u00e9s de la plataforma de crowdfunding Capital Cell, amb la qual ha captat al voltant de 431.000 euros. El capital s’invertir\u00e0 en la millora seu producte i en la preparaci\u00f3 per a iniciar proves cl\u00edniques.<\/p>\n
Tractivus treballa, des del seu naixement el 2015, en la creaci\u00f3 d’un sistema d’autoprotecci\u00f3 consistent en un recobriment de la superf\u00edcie de cada dispositiu m\u00e8dic, que evita l\u2019adhesi\u00f3 de bacteris i la colonitzaci\u00f3 per part d\u2019aquests microorganismes pat\u00f2gens. L’abs\u00e8ncia de colonitzaci\u00f3 i de formaci\u00f3 de biopel\u00b7l\u00edcules augmenta la vida \u00fatil del dispositiu, i evita problemes posteriors a la implantaci\u00f3 i els conseq\u00fcents efectes adversos per al pacient. A m\u00e9s, aquest fet comporta una reducci\u00f3 en els costos de salut directament relacionats amb el tractament de problemes derivats dels implants, com les infeccions i el seu tractament amb antibi\u00f2tics.<\/p>\n
La soluci\u00f3 desenvolupada per Tractivus ha estat batejada com el nom de PHOBOSTechTM. La tecnolog\u00eda, que s’ha validat i patentat, ja t\u00e9 entre els seus productes un stent traqueal i un cat\u00e8ter urinari, que compten amb propietats antibacterianes i s’adapten completament al pacient. La companyia confia en iniciar properament les proves de validaci\u00f3 precl\u00ednica i realitzar un estudi cl\u00ednic entre 2021 i 2022, moment en el qual preveu obrir una tercera ronda de finan\u00e7ament, que complementar\u00e0 i servir\u00e0 de pont d’aquesta segona, i amb la qual espera captar entre dos i tres milions d’euros.<\/p>\n
Les infeccions dels productes sorgides despr\u00e9s de la implantaci\u00f3 \u00e9s un problema que apareix en aproximadament 3,5 milions dels casos entre Europa i els Estats Units anualment, i que significa un sobrecost anual de 45 bilions de d\u00f2lars, aix\u00ed com una taxa de mortalitat d\u2019unes 147.000 persones a l’any.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
