NEUROVASCULAR COATING SOLUTIONS

Custom Coatings Designed For Neurovascular Devices

At Biocoat, we offer a complete solution for the coating of neurovascular medical devices. Our hydrophilic coatings offer best-in-class performance with the industry’s lowest particulate counts. Our flexible service model allows you to coat your materials either at your own production facility or at our Contract Coating Services Unit. Your medical device is specifically designed to achieve its intended goal and our coatings allow for your device to be easily maneuverable and highly durable, to optimize vascular access and minimize procedure time.

At Biocoat, we are focused on researching, developing, manufacturing, and applying the best coatings in the market. Our team is fully dedicated to providing our customers with a best-in-class experience at every step.

TYPES OF NEUROVASCULAR DEVICES WE COAT

  • Percutaneous Thrombectomy Devices
  • Neurovascular Thrombectomy Devices
  • Embolectomy Balloon Catheters
  • OTW Microcatheters
  • Guiding Catheters
  • Micro-Guidewires
  • Flow-Directed Microcatheters
  • INR Coil Delivery Systems
  • INR Flow-Diverting Devices

At Biocoat we offer a complete solution for the coating of neurovascular medical devices.

BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE

The following charts show the results of a series of tests that the Biocoat Research & Development team completed to test the friction, durability and particulates on commercially available microcatheters.

REQUIREMENTS FOR LUBRICIOUS SURFACES

In order for our coatings to retain their best-in-class status, we continually test our products to ensure that they meet the three criteria on which hydrophilic coatings are measured. An effective lubricious coating should have each of the following components:

  • Low friction: To ease the movement of the device
    through the body.

  • High durability: Due to the many twists and turns the
    body contains, the coating needs to maintain the
    same level of performance throughout the entire
    procedure.

  • Low particulates: A relatively new measure of coating
    performance that is driven by various regulatory
    agencies to understand what types and amounts of
    foreign materials are being introduced to the body.

CASE STUDY

INTERMEDIATE NEUROVASCULAR CATHETER

THE REQUIREMENT:

Our customer required a coating that allowed the device to reach further into the vasculature while including the use of a soft distal tip.

THE CHALLENGE:

Biocoat was required to supply a coating that would be extremely durable, while ensuring optimal performance for maneuverability through the torturous paths in the neurovascular anatomy.

THE SOLUTION:

Biocoat’s Application Development team recommended HYDAK® Thermal coatings to the client’s Engineering team to develop a custom coating solution that allowed maximum lubricity, durability and to meet the FDA’s requirements for particulate counts. The client’s device was FDA 510k cleared for use and has become the leading neurovascular catheter on the market.

“I believe their hydrophilic coating solution for catheters is one of the best, if not the best, solution on the market.”
