GOTECH Antimicrobial
I am CEO of GOTech Antimicrobial, a medtech startup that develops antimicrobial technologies to fight medical device infections. Our first product is the GOcap®, a light-activated cap for catheter disinfection. This is particularly relevant for the 2.9M patients that use catheters to perform hemodialysis when their kidneys fail, having a 15% chance of dying from catheter infection. Our patented technology is based on irradiation of graphene with near-infrared light, killing 99% of multi-resistant bacteria without causing antibiotic resistance.
