MediShield™ Hydrophilic Lubricious Coating

MediShield™ Hydrophilic Lubricious Coating is engineered to provide high-performance lubricity for medical devices, enabling them to glide smoothly over tissues or other device surfaces in wet or aqueous environments. The coating reduces friction, enhances maneuverability, and supports safer, more efficient clinical procedures.

Benefits

• Biocompatible: Tested according to ISO 10993 standards
• Exceptional Wet Lubricity: Coefficient of friction << 0.1
• Strong Adhesion: Durable bonding to a wide range of substrates, including silicone and polypropylene
• Internal Surface Coating: Capable of uniformly coating the inner surfaces of tubes
• Excellent Durability: Maintains lubricity performance through repeated testing

Application Examples

• Catheters and guidewires
• Endoscopy over-tube systems
• Stent delivery systems
• Feeding tubes
• Intraocular lens (IOL) cartridges
