Advances in the design of medical devices such as catheters, guide wires and stents are having a dramatic effect on diagnostic and therapeutic practice in medical care. These new devices owe their effectiveness in large part to the availability of medical coatings with enhanced properties. Because medical coatings play a critical role in the manufacture of medical devices, increasing medical device demand will result in accelerated growth for medical coatings.
Low friction is one of the key elements in designing the right coatings. With low friction coatings the diagnostic and therapeutic practice is made easier and the low friction makes it possible to reach the smallest parts in body.
Medical coatings are applied to medical products, and are used extensively to allow catheters to be inserted and withdrawn from the body with minimal discomfort and tissue damage.
| Commercially important catheter procedures include cardiac diagnostics and surgery, vascular access, minimally invasive therapeutics, and wound drainage. More than half of the forty million patients hospitalized in the U.S. each year receive some form of infusion therapy involving catheters. Other important applications for medical coatings include surgical instruments. |
