INNOVATION TO COMMERCIALIZATION
A Partnership That Extends Beyond the Finish Line
Performance Coatings
Surmodics’ leadership in surface technology is founded on hard science, engineering prowess, and rigorous testing protocols.
On average, our scientists and engineers generate more than 40 patents each year. As a result, we’ve led the industry in breakthrough formulations for medical devices, engineering optimized device performance, and integrating multiple coating technologies on the same device.
The Surmodics Difference
Hydrophilic Coatings
The Surmodics low-particulate lubricious coatings have a proven track record, meeting the demanding regulatory requirements in all clinical segments: coronary, peripheral, neurovascular, and structural heart devices. Our hydrophilic coating formulations—including our latest and most advanced platform, Preside™ Hydrophilic Coatings— demonstrate markedly elite lubricity and tracking, durability, and particulate reduction.
Our Hydrophilic Coating solutions offer:
The industry’s lowest friction force and particulate generation
PhotoLink™ covalent bonding to Pebax®, nylon, soft urethanes, PEEK, HDPE, and a wide variety of other substrates
Advanced performance to track and cross vessels, including in very complex tortuosity and extreme occlusions
Coating solutions that fully integrate into your lean production process
Extremely thin coating to support tight tolerances related to device interactions
