Hydromer Coatings

have a long history of use in a variety of medical applications.   We custom develop coatings and processes to fit your needs and specifications.   Unlike our competitors, we do not subscribe to the one coating fits all approach.   Most applications require a non-exclusive license to use our Coatings technology and Process Know-How.  We now also offer coating service under certified ISO 9001/GMP conditions, and we can also build a turn key coating line for our technology. This will speed your time to market and greatly reduce your costs for development and commercialization.  Our staff can also assist you by providing a dossier of safety information to speed your regulatory approvals.  Hydromer coatings are approved for use in Japan!

The process to evaluate our technology is simple, risk free and entirely confidential.   Typically, the process proceeds as follows:

  • Your Needs are Evaluated to see if Hydromer Coatings can add value to your product.
  • Complete secrecy agreements to protect our mutual interests.
  • Device submission with target specifications for free surface treatment to demonstrate Hydromer technology and determine feasibility.  Usually we can turn around submissions in under two weeks.
  • Additional sample work to develop process, fine tune coating performance to your specifications and generate samples for initial trials, clinicals, etc. at a modest cost.  We can also complex or react drugs of choice including heparin, anti-infectives, anti-inflammatories, DNA-based therapeutics, etc into the coating.
