Welcome
Liposphere –
where Biolubrication starts
Liposphere is a biomedical start-up spun out from the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel) in early 2019. Its unique IP-protected platform technology of unmatched biolubricants has been developed over the past two decades at the Department of Materials & Interfaces under Professor Jacob Klein. Based on the profound knowledge of Klein and his team, Liposphere is now developing an innovative platform of highly lubricious, water-based & lipid-based biomaterials, for use in conditions where smooth motion is required.
Answering unmet medical needs
There is an unmet global requirement for innovative medical solutions that will provide substantial relief for mechanically stressed environments. The major synovial joints in the human body, such as the knee and hip joints, articulate under high-load situations and shear stress conditions.
These orthopaedic conditions are the pain points where Liposphere’s products play a crucial role.
Liposphere’s products can be used as a pure boundary coating over surfaces, yet also carry the potential of encapsulating active pharmaceutical ingredients for delivery of medication to areas that are difficult to reach.
Liposphere’s platform technology, CCoat®, also enables the coating and lubrication of synthetic medical surfaces such as orthopaedic implants, giving potential for smooth movement in a wide range of conditions.
Introducing our unique product
The platform technology CCoat® by Liposphere
We developed CCoat® as an intra-articular injectable device for the treatment of knee Osteoarthritis. It acts as a biocompatible boundary device coating the cartilage surfaces of the opposing bones of the knee joint, reducing friction and wear by providing superior lubrication.
CCoat® can be used as a boundary device to coat biological surfaces, yet also provides a vehicle for encapsulating active pharmaceutical ingredients or supplements to be delivered to the body.
Additionally, CCoat® enables the robust coating of artificial medical surfaces such as implants, catheters, hydrogels and needles, ensuring ultra-low friction and improved functionality while surfaces slide against each other.
Biological surfaces
We developed CCoat (Investigational Device) as an intra-articular injectable structural boundary lubricant to enable smooth articulation and an active lifestyle despite aged or damaged knee joints. CCoat acts as a biocompatible, boundary lubricant coating the cartilage surfaces of the opposing bones of the knee joint, hence reducing friction and wear by providing superior lubrication.
// Reducing wear significantly by protecting cartilage
Artificial surfaces – PIPELINE PRODUCT
With the product line SCoat (Investigational Device), Liposphere develops highly lubricious coatings for artificial surfaces relevant in different healthcare applications. Liposphere has recently conducted a pilot studies with commercial partners to assess SCoat on different materials in use as artificial joint implants.
