Co-Founder/Researcher
Puray
Puray develops medical tubing that integrates far photo-disinfection technology to actively prevent device-associated infections. This photonic disinfection method neutralizes pathogens, including antimicrobial-resistant germs, without harming human tissue. The technology enhances patient safety, conserves antibiotic use, and reduces the frequency of necessary tubing replacements.

Problem
Device-associated infections, particularly those arising from medical tubes like catheters, pose a significant risk in healthcare settings, accounting for over 50% of hospital infections and contributing to mortality rates ranging from 5% to 25%. Current methods of infection control may be insufficient in preventing colonization of these devices by harmful pathogens, including antimicrobial-resistant strains.
Solution
Puray has developed medical tubing that utilizes far-UVC photonic disinfection to eliminate pathogens on the tube surface without harming human tissue. This technology aims to reduce the incidence of device-associated infections, enhance patient safety, and minimize the need for frequent tube replacements. By integrating photonic disinfection directly into the tubing, Puray offers continuous protection against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including multi-drug resistant organisms, thereby conserving antibiotics and improving overall healthcare outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers seeking to reduce device-associated infections and improve patient safety.
