Biomedical hydrogels · Singapore

The next generation of hydrogel

A new class of biomedical hydrogel,engineered at the nanoscale.

The breakthrough

We break a decades‑old trade‑off

Softness(water content)
1960s–1990s

Traditional hydrogel

Soft but low breathability

2026+

Synnan hydrogel

High comfort, high breathability

1990s–present

Silicone hydrogel

High breathability but stiffer

Breathability(oxygen permeability)
Technology

One nanostructure, three jobs done at once

Oxygen and water molecules flowing into Synnan's porous hydrogel network
Zoomed-in view of interwoven water-loving and water-repelling strands
Zoomed in Water-loving Water-repelling Fully miscible blend, with no phase separation

01Built-in water channels

Bound water forms pathways through the material that let oxygen pass.

Highly breathable

02Water-loving backbone

The backbone holds a high water content and retains it, while keeping its shape.

High moisture retention

03Low-deposit
surface

Water-repelling parts make it hard for water-loving proteins and bacteria to grip.

Stays clean longer
Platform

One material, tuned for each application

Water content50–87%
0100%
Oxygen flow40–105Dk/t
0150
Modulus0.22–3.5MPa
04 MPa
Tear strength0.3–0.6MPa
01 MPa
First application

Contact lenses for dry eyes

Next

Wound care

Next

Personal care

Why contact lenses first

A big unmet need, ready for a new material

1 in 5 quit yearly

Dropout crisis

#1 reason wearers quit

Discomfort, mostly dryness, drives 1 in 5 to drop out yearly.

Up to 74% can return

Built for dry eyes

Wins wearers back

Better water retention; up to 74% of dropouts can return to lens wear.

Moist · breathable · clean

Better lenses

All-in-one

High water content and oxygen permeability, and stays cleaner.

Innovation long overdue

20+ years

No new lens material

The industry is due for its next material step change.
