HydroMed D is a series of ether-based hydrophilic urethanes with excellent adhesive and cohesive properties while exhibiting tailored water absorption levels depending upon end product targets.
This material does not require UV curing and as such, provides a superior alternative to UV curable materials for devices which require inner lumen or complicated form coatings.
These materials were designed for use as coatings for a wide array of devices including catheters, guidewires, sutures, introducers, rods, and valves.
The HydroMed series can also be coated onto devices to reduce the absorption of white cells and proteins, thereby aiding in the analysis of blood and DNA.
HydroMed is processed by traditional solvent coating methods. The polymer granules can be dissolved in varying concentrations using most organic and inorganic solvent packages.
