VISION
We are changing the way the world thinks about biomaterials
Nearly 30% of surgical procedures still result in bleeding-related complications. Limax's hydrogel platform adheres strongly to wet, dynamic tissue — both inside and outside the body — with an adhesion and healing performance current sealants and sutures can't match.
WHAT WE DO
Our hydrogels are designed to solve real, unmet needs in surgery.
01
Seal Leaks
30% of all surgical procedures still end in bleeding-related complications
LIMAX sealant HemoMax helps to prevent these complications thanks to its unprecedented toughness and wet adhesion capabilities
02
Heal Tissues
Available wound sealing procedures still result in poor tissue healing
Our bio-adhesives replace the
need of staples and sutures,
providing a barrier that
improves the healing interface,
hydrates the area and protects
against infections.
03
Deliver Drugs
Local drug delivery is still a major challenge nowadays
Limax hydrogels deliver drugs locally minimizing systemic side effects, enhancing drug retention in target sites, and eliminating the necessity for repeated doses.

WHY LIMAX
Our bio-adhesives are designed to outperform existing tissue-healing products.
Tough Adhesion
100-1000x greater than other sealants and adhesives in the market, and greater than collagen itself >1000-2000 J/m2
Stretchability
Adapts to tissue shape and movement, stretching up to 20x
Wet Adhesion
First in the market to maintain a durable adhesion in spite of contact with body fluids
Biocompatibility
Promotes healing without triggering adverse reactions
Rapid Adhesion
Forms rapid adhesion to tissues
in under 30 seconds
Rapid Time To Hemostasis
Stops the haemorrhage in less than 30 seconds
