Solving medical device infection

Introducing GOcap®

The first graphene light-activated catheter cap that continuously prevents infection in dialysis patients.

Prevents infection

Kills 99% of clinically-relevant bacteria inside the catheter hub, preventing catheter-related infection.

Affordable

Low price and cheaper than standard caps over time.

Reusable

Can be used multiple times for the same patient.

Antibiotic-free

Antimicrobial action relies on graphene, so no need for antibiotics.
