Bio-Gate is a medical technology company that employs unique silver technology to endow materials and products with antimicrobial properties. The focus of the product portfolio is medical technology products. Bio-Gate technology is based on the antimicrobial activity of silver ions. The company employs only pure metallic silver. Bio-Gate uses two different technologies. In the first, silver particles are incorporated into cosmetics, paints, veneers or plastics. The second involves coating final products - such as implants or wound dressings - with a silver-containing functional layer. Both technologies use extremely small particles of silver, to ensure that as many silver ions as possible are released.
