Discover Biocoat’s newest patented innovation. A PFAS-free inner diameter coating which offers an alternative to PFAS materials while enhancing the overall device effectiveness.
This coating technology is characterized by exceptional lubricity, which allows medical devices to navigate through narrow or tortuous pathways in the body with minimal resistance. This reduces the potential for tissue damage and can improve efficiency. The lubricious nature of the coating, combined with its durability, ensures that devices maintain their performance throughout the procedures.
In addition to its lubricity, Biocoat’s non-PFAS coating offers impressive flexibility. This is particularly beneficial for devices such as catheters, which require both flexibility and durability to perform effectively in challenging anatomical environments. The coating can withstand the rigors of multiple flexions and stresses, ensuring the longevity of the device.
At Biocoat, our HYDAK® coatings offer best-in-class performance in lubricity, durability, and particulates. The following tests show the results of a series of tests that the Biocoat Research & Development team completed to test the lubricity and durability of HYDAK® Thermal on the inner diameter to see how our coatings perform compared to a PTFE liner.
HYDAK® Thermal coating was tested on various Pebax® catheter tubing sizes, comparing it to uncoated Pebax® tubing and a PTFE liner. HYDAK Thermal demonstrated superior lubricity in both initial and repeated use.
HYDAK® Thermal coating was tested on the inner diameter of Pebax® 55D catheter tubing, comparing it to a commercially available guide catheter and PTFE extrusion. HYDAK Thermal demonstrated comparable particulate counts.
