Surface Modification Overview
SurModics offers a number of surface modification coating technologies, including lubricious coatings, prohealing coatings, hemo- and biocompatible coatings, and coatings for the attachment of biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids). End markets commonly served by these coating technologies are cardiovascular disease, neurology, orthopedics, diabetes, and clinical diagnostics. SurModics' PhotoLink technology, photochemical covalent coupling of the coating molecules, is utilized for these surface modification applications.
Our Advanced Hydrophilic Coatings impart a lubricious coating to improve access, deliverability, and predictable deployment of medical devices. We are a full-service provider of integrated chemistry and process excellence. SurModics' prohealing, biocompatible, and hemocompatible coatings utilize biomaterials that rely on natural mechanisms to augment or recover damaged tissue, organ, or medical device performance. These coatings accelerate the natural healing processes, with the potential for improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
SurModics offers proprietary coating technologies for biomolecule attachment, as used on CodeLink microarray slides. This custom coating enables our customers to tailor the reactive chemistry on the surface of their diagnostic device, to enhance biomarker capture and detection.
