From Motor sports to Medical Support
Anatech is on the fast track of technology


LINCOLN COUNTY, NC – Anatech LTD located at 771 Crosspoint Drive in Denver, NC specializes in diamond like hard carbon thin film that acts as a parts enhancement technology for some of the best teams in motor sports.

The combined characteristics that set it apart from other thin film coating are the reasons for the proven longevity of engine components that are used in extreme conditions in the motor sports. Now researchers in the medical field have discovered the film coating reduces operating temperatures of the rotating cutting instruments used in surgery and retains the sharpness of the cutting edge longer. Lowering operating temperatures of drill bits reduces bone necrosis. Sharper, longer lasting cutting edges make the surgeon’s work easier; requires less force to perform surgery, and is easier on the patient. The film also provides a non reflective black surface which prevents glare from extreme lighting.

Anatech has formed a sister company, BioMedFlex LLC which delivers engineering services and BioMedFlex® thin film, a key enabling technology in biomedical applications.
BioMedFlex sees applications in several market segments such as rotating cutting instruments, surgical instruments, trauma devices and spine implants as well as cardiovascular devices, orthopedic devices and intravascular devices.

George Barr, president of Anatech along with a team of doctors, engineers and scientists
have formed another sister company, BioMedInnovation LLC which delivers engineered solutions in biomedical applications in medical devices. Its applications derive from a cardio vascular emulation system, VasoWave™ that delivers controlled, doctor specified wave forms, diastolic and systolic pressures, and pulse rates that are laid over normal pumping systems. BioMedInnovations sees applications in several market segments such as, Organ Transport, Coronary Pulmonary Bypass Surgery, Pediatric Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Tissue Generation – Regeneration, Intercranial Pressure Regulation, Dialysis Assist, Bio Fluid Regulation and Pressure Balancing of Wound Site Distention.

VasoConnect LLC is yet another company developed to deliver engineered solutions in Arterial-Venous graft applications which is a connector that can be used for dialysis connection or intravenous connection.

"Anatech's Extremeion Racing Division is very pleased to participate in motor sport and to bring value to the racer and to the engine builder with its family of Carbon Raptor hard carbon thin films. Very often what we learn in motor sport can translate to other industries, including medical. Even though applications are very different, film properties and attributes can cross over several markets." says George Barr, president of Anatech, LTD.

Pete Acker, chair with the Lincoln Economic Development Association, “While many people may think of Lincoln County’s economic development success in terms of manufacturing and distribution, we are excited to participate in medical device technology development through the presence of Anatech and its visionary team. Anatech is a timely example of the multitude of niches that exist within the vast healthcare technology arena and Lincoln County is justifiably proud to have such a dynamic, state of the art company in our midst.”
