HYDROPHOBIC FORMULAS
We offer a hydrophilic lubricious coating that helps improve patient comfort when applied to medical devices like catheters, guidewires and other short-term implanted devices.
Hydrophilic coatings participate in dynamic hydrogen bonding with surrounding water. In most cases, hydrophilic coatings are also ionic and usually negatively charged, which further facilitates aqueous interactions.
TUA Systems’ Heparin-Complex-T™ is an anti-clotting agent with indications for use on all vascular devices. It may be bonded to most all device materials including metal, plastic, glass and Teflon®.
