ISurGlide lubricious hydrophilic coatings and primers are pre-formulated and ready to use right out of the bottle. Our primers and hydrophilic coatings are most commonly applied using a dip-coating procedure followed by a UV cure to bond the coating to the surface of your device. The process below applies to both our primers and hydrophilic coatings. Specific parameters vary based on your substrate and use case.
Performance testing of hydrophilic coatings will ultimately be based on your requirements, but always involves testing for lubricity (slipperiness) and durability. If you’re testing an invasive medical device with a lubricious coating, we use a proprietary tortuous path test created specifically to allow testing of durability and particulate.
Since specialized equipment is generally required for testing hydrophilic coatings, many of our customers choose to have ISurTec perform testing services for them.
ISurTec is a technology innovator with a deep passion for identifying, creating and commercializing new methods and products that enable companies to fulfill their mission.
