Surface Modification Overview

SurModics offers a number of surface modification coating technologies, including lubricious coatings, prohealing coatings, hemo- and biocompatible coatings, and cell encapsulation.  End markets commonly served by these coating technologies are cardiovascular disease, neurology, orthopedics, and diabetes. 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.  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.
