Our purpose is to help medical device companies bring high-performance solutions to life. We do this by combining proven coating platforms with the insight of people who understand how materials respond to stress, how devices behave inside the body, and how manufacturing systems operate in the real world.
We are here to bring clarity to complex challenges and provide surface technologies that support reliability, safety, and consistency.

Our work is grounded in advanced chemistry, material understanding, and rigorous testing. This foundation helps ensure coatings behave predictably across device geometries and clinical conditions.
Our specialists have hands-on understanding of device behavior, manufacturing constraints, and coating-process variables. This knowledge drives more efficient development and stronger system-level outcomes.
We work closely with customers to understand their device goals, technical challenges, and manufacturing needs. Every coating strategy is shaped with the full device context in mind.
Every process, recommendation, and evaluation is informed by ISO 13485–certified quality systems and the standards required to move a device from concept to commercial readiness.
People with deep experience across materials, processes, and device function. Our team consists of scientists, engineers, and coating specialists with extensive experience in:
Their insight helps anticipate challenges early, refine approaches quickly, and design coating solutions that align with both performance and production requirements.
We help teams make informed decisions by explaining the science, engineering considerations, and trade-offs behind each coating strategy.

Our approach includes hands-on collaboration that aligns coating performance with device intent and manufacturing goals.

Our processes are designed to support uniformity, stability, and repeatability from early prototyping through production-level runs.

We design coating solutions with commercial readiness in mind, supporting manufacturers through development, qualification, and scale-up.
