Sharklet Technologies is a medical equipment manufacturer based in Aurora, Colorado. It develops a surface technology that inhibits bacterial growth through patterning alone, without toxic additives or antibiotics. The Sharklet surface consists of millions of microscopic features arranged in a distinct diamond pattern that prevents bacteria from attaching, colonizing, and forming biofilms. The approach is inspired by the pattern of sharkskin dermal denticles, drawing on natural resistance to fouling organisms. The technology originated with research by Dr. Tony Brennan at the University of Florida and has been licensed for development of medical devices and consumer applications. In 2025, Sharklet's Disposable Sterile Micropattern Silicone Catheter was recognized as an Innovative Medical Device by the Administration for Market Regulation of Drugs and Medical Devices in China.
