OSPT

Oxford Silk Phage Technologies is a biotechnology company developing antibacterial biomaterials that integrate bacteriophages into silk-based medical textiles, for use in surgical implants and wound care devices.

The technology embeds high-density cocktails of bacteriophages throughout the textile structure, producing materials with long-lasting, self-replicating bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for surgical site infections.

The approach is designed to reduce both infection rates and reliance on prophylactic antibiotics, addressing a significant unmet need in implant medicine.
