How we are building the future’s

polymer systems

for drug delivery and surface modification

Multiple variables presented in addressing product needs

First generation systems may be able to tune in on some parameters

Pendant Bio offers the next generation technology – providing independent tuning parameters to meet the needs of the industry

Our tunable polymers outperform traditional biocompatible matrices.

PLGA and other common polymer chemistries can be flexible, but are limited, first generation drug delivery systems. Their features can be adjusted one or two at a time, allowing only for incremental progress in drug delivery.

Pendant’s solution is a completely modular platform with multiple features and functions that can be simultaneously customized. This allows for alterations in porosity, drug loading & release, and rates of degradation.

Functionality makes the polymers you know… better.
