Enox Biopharma

Enox Biopharma is a Canadian company developing antimicrobial medical devices coated with Nitric Oxide.

These products include urinary catheters, endotracheal tubes, central venous lines and other short term indwelling devices. Nitric Oxide gas (gNO) is produced in various cell types, has a short half-life of about six seconds and is part of the body’s innate response to inflammatory and immune processes. More specifically, gNO has been shown to play an important role in vasodilatation, neurotransmission, angiogenesis, modulation of wound healing and response to infection. Experimental evidence has demonstrated a broad range of antimicrobial activity against a growing list of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and viruses.
