Introducing Advanced Polymer Technology (APT™)
About
About APT™
PTx has developed APT™ (Antimicrobial Polymer Technology), a platform that enables controlled antimicrobial performance through structural design rather than chemical release. APT™ integrates proprietary polymer chemistry that can be adapted across multiple formats and clinical contexts, reflecting the company’s focus on responsible innovation, regulated evidence, and long-term antimicrobial resistance (AMR) stewardship.

POLTX_Fiber has achieved CE Mark certification
POLTX_Fiber is our first commercial product: a gelling fiber dressing incorporating our novel Antimicrobial Polymer Technology (APT™). This significant moment marks Polaroid Therapeutic’s entry into the Wound Care sector with the goal of bringing a new standard in wound care through the APT™ platform.
More on POLTX_Fiber
POLTX_Fiber is the first commercial product to use APT™ (Antimicrobial Polymer Technology), a patented platform invented and developed by PTx that embeds an antimicrobial functionality directly into the dressing. Unlike many advanced antimicrobial wound dressings that rely on releasing the antimicrobial component, and may expose the patient to their known side effects, APT™ is designed to act rapidly and provide sustained activity (data on file), to prevent bacterial colonization within the dressing. Following CE Mark approval, we are preparing to introduce POLTX_Fiber in selected European markets, working with the medical community, including wound care centres and distribution partners, to build real-world clinical and patient experience as access is scaled.
The Antimicrobial Advantage
A Positive Impact for Global Health
POLTX_Fiber with APT integrated within the dressing fibers works on wound exudate to destroy bacteria at a cellular level therefore preventing contribution to antimicrobial resistance.
For Antimicrobial Action, From the Moment of Application
In wound care, efficiency of treatment time can make the difference that matters. POLTX_Fiber suppresses microbial colonization within the dressing over 7-days and data shows a reduction in bacterial load within the first three hours after application.
Antimicrobial activation occurs within the dressing not the wound, with non- leaching antimicrobial APT
Unlike dressings designed to release the antimicrobial component into the wound environment POLTX_Fiber uses a non- leaching, antimicrobial polymer designed to act upon exudate within the dressing itself: keeping the wound clear for healing.
Technology that still works, even in the most human conditions.
Effective wound care requires being able to adapt in real world conditions, which is why POLTX_Fiber is designed to maintain antimicrobial function and structural integrity even when the dressing is wet.
Designed to create an optimal environment for wound healing.
With antimicrobial action activating within a gel, POLTX_Fiber keeps the wound environment moist while preventing bacterial colonization.
