About

Nicast develops implantable medical devices made of electrospun polymer nanofabrics. The nanofabric structure mimics the bodys extracellular matrix, making it an excellent medium for tissue integration. Nicast has been working to apply the significant potential of combining electrospinning nanotechnology and biomaterials to a wide range of medical applications. AVflo, the companys CE-certified polyurethane vascular access graft, provides a high-end solution to hemodialysis patients, improving patient care and reducing hospitalization time. Nicast collaborates with various medical device companies in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., as well as with research institutes, health authorities, and universities.
