Catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) cause millions of deaths annually due to biofilm. ACatechol (cohort 2023) developed a groundbreaking, bioinspired catheter, inspired by marine organisms, featuring a biofilm-repelling surface. Preclinical studies show over 40% infection reduction, potentially saving 2 million lives yearly and significantly reducing waste.

The Ray of Hope Accelerator (formerly Prize), honoring Ray C. Anderson, champions nature-inspired solutions for global environmental challenges. ACatechol was a 2022 finalist. The Accelerator continues to support nature-inspired startups. Learn more at AskNature.org, visit ACatechol, or explore the Biomimicry Institute.
