Surface Coatings: the Potential to Create a Safer Tomorrow
At FendX, we are developing a suite of technologies designed to help reduce the spread of pathogens on surfaces. Our portfolio includes an antimicrobial liquid surface coating, an AI‑powered application for detecting pathogens on surfaces, and a Foley catheter coating. Together, these solutions are being designed to complement existing prevention practices and support cleaner, more hygienic environments. As we continue to advance each component of our platform, our goal is to provide practical, science‑driven tools that can contribute to improved public health and help reduce the spread of harmful pathogens.

Potential Applications
Healthcare, Transportation Industry, Entertainment Industry, Hospitality Services, Office Building
Surfaces Can Spread Pathogens. Pathogens Exist in Critical and Everyday Environments on High-touch Surfaces.
Doorknobs, swinging and revolving doors, elevator panels, public bathrooms, toilets, flush handles, sinks, soap and sanitizer dispensers, handrails (hall, stairs, escalators), bedrails, bedside tables & handles, wheelchairs, light switches, IV poles.
Other examples of industries/areas with high traffic public touchpoints that we may target include:
Transportation industry (airplanes, trains, buses, taxis); entertainment industry (arenas, stadiums, theatres, casinos, amusement parks, recreation centres, malls, cruise ships); food and hospitality services; and schools and office buildings.
