Biocoat Announces Formation of Surmodics Services & Technologies Division Following Merger and Divestiture Transactions
Read Press Release
Our team brings deep understanding of how coatings interact with different device materials, which allows us to adapt surface treatments and processes for consistent, reliable performance. This material-level knowledge supports proper adhesion, uniformity, hydration behavior, and long-term durability across both simple and complex device geometries:
Surmodics ST supports ID coating capabilities for polymer and metal lumens, helping reduce friction, improve passability, and support multi-shaft interaction. These capabilities are ideal for tight lumens, secondary shaft interfaces, and systems requiring smooth internal surfaces.
Our team provides direct to metal advanced coating adhesion strategies for stainless steel, Nitinol, and other metal substrates. These capabilities support delivery systems, hypotubes, and metal components that require durable, uniform, and reliable coating performance without the use of a tie layer or primer.
Silicone presents adhesion challenges due to low surface energy. Surmodics ST supports coating strategies through plasma preparation, primer systems, and silicone-specific adhesion enhancements to maintain uniformity and reliability.
Coating solutions validated for Pebax, nylon, polyurethane, PEEK, HDPE, LDPE and blended polymers. These materials underpin the majority of minimally invasive delivery systems.
Surmodics ST supports multiple coating applications and curing processes to meet the needs of diverse device designs, manufacturing environments, and commercial requirements.
Our capabilities support performance attributes that directly influence how devices navigate, interact, and withstand clinical use.
