The right hydrophilic coatings can dramatically improve the longevity and functionality of medical devices, so it’s imperative to partner with a superior coating company. More than just a protective barrier, they provide devices with an added layer of safety and efficiency. From preventing infections to reducing friction, the benefits are numerous.
According to the guide, products like catheters and vascular implants need to have thromboresistant coatings to reduce the risk of blood clots and thrombosis which in turn can prevent strokes, atrial fibrillation, and heart attacks. There are also specific cell-growth device coatings that offer improved biocompatibility and encourage cellular attachment.
In all cases, the nature of the medical device will define what type of coatings are necessary for the product to be approved. The guide suggests that the coatings be anti-microbial to preserve sterility and shield against harmful bacteria and pathogens, as well as adhere securely to the surface and not leach harmful substances.
Other things to consider include drug-eluting capabilities, thermal or UV-cured, and coating thicknesses. The guide recommends partnering with a company that can balance durability with performance, ensuring precise application and versatile integration without compromising patient safety.
It’s known that the healthcare industry demands innovation, quality, and performance, with stringent guidelines and regulations governing it. When products are being used inside of the human body there are strict quality and regulatory standards, with no room for error.
The guide states, “Matching the chemistry of coatings to the numerous substrate materials, challenging product geometries, and the environments these coated products are used in is a complex process that should be guided by those skilled in the field of developing, manufacturing, and applying hydrophilic coatings.”
It recommends partnering with a company known for balancing durability with performance, ensuring precise application and versatile integration without compromising patient safety.
