Palmaz Scientific, based in Dallas, TX, develops and commercializes patented metallurgical surface nanotechnologies for the manufacture of implantable medical devices. Its core technology uses physical vapor deposition to deposit atomic layers that produce very strong, high‑purity metals fabricated into low‑profile implantable devices. Product applications cited include all‑metal micromesh thin film coverings for stents, micro‑neuro and vascular stents, angioplasty balloons, drug‑delivery devices, and cosmetic and orthopedic implants. The company has also developed patented process methods intended to accelerate healing of cells on metals used in implantable devices. The recent funding will be used to commercialize those patented nanotechnology processes and introduce innovative vascular stents and other implantable devices to market. Palmaz is led by Dr. Julio Palmaz alongside a management team of executives, physicians, scientists and engineers.
