Hydrophilic coatings are designed to attract and absorb water molecules. These coatings are engineered to minimise the friction between the medical device and soft tissues such as the vascular system. They achieve this by creating a thin, lubricious layer that facilitates the easy passage of the device within the body. Hydrophilic coatings excel in retaining fluids on surfaces, a crucial trait in medical applications to minimise friction. Used on devices like catheters and guidewires, these coatings ease insertion, reducing the risk of tissue damage and enhancing patient comfort. Our Assist™ Hydrophilic Coating provides a high-performance lubricious long-term application on devices to decrease frictional resistance, significantly reduce tissue damage and improve comfort when delivering or removing devices from the patient.

In the context of PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy, attention to safety for individuals with implants cannot be overstated. Those with battery-operated devices like pacemakers, or implants such as dental fixtures, mechanical heart valves, stents, or staples, need to proceed with caution. Potential risks include battery interference and nerve stimulation. Ensuring the safety and appropriateness of PEMF therapy in such cases necessitates a consultation with a healthcare professional.

The Assist™ Hydrophilic Coating offers a high-performance lubricious surface suitable for medical implant applications, effectively reducing friction. This technology has a longstanding history and has been applied to various surfaces and shapes without causing particulate formation or delamination within the patient's body. The hydrophilic coating has been successfully applied to a range of medical devices, including those with highly movable components such as large balloon catheters, joint devices, and delivery devices. Utilising a dual-factor approach, Assist™ enhances biocompatibility and stability, thus reducing complications at the interface between the device and the body. Additionally, the coating prevents the deposition and adhesion of cells onto the device surface.

Selecting the right coating for medical devices is complex and depends on several factors: - Environment: Consider where the device will be used. - Device compatibility: Ensure the coating suits the device. - Temperature variations: Account for potential performance impacts. Lubricity is crucial for reducing friction and wear. For devices like cardiac-assist devices and catheters, lubricious coatings can cut friction by over 90%, enhancing performance. Lubricious coatings include: - Hydrophilic coatings: Low-friction but may degrade. - Hydrophobic coatings: Like Parylene, offering durable, pinhole-free protection. Choosing the right coating is essential for device performance and better patient outcomes. Read the article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gaF_gjtG #medical #medicaldevices #medtech
