DLC’s
superior lubricious coating uses
the body’s own fluids to dramatically reduce frictional forces
up to 90%.
Key advantages of
our patented Hydrophilic Coat technology:
Proven surface
biocompatibility.
Non-reactive hydrophilic/hydrophobic, polymer matrix.
Can be varied to optimize performance characteristics,such as
lubricity, flexibility and hydration.
Easy customization to meet any performance specification.
Principle :
The key to
Hydrophilic Coat
performance is a patented hydrophilic/hydrophobic
polymer matrix.
When the coating is exposed to
aqueous fluids, moisture is absorbed and retained in the
coating by the hydrophilic
components.
These fluids create a slippery surface, with a high fluid
concentration at the coating surface.
The hydrophobic components hold the matrix together and firmly
anchor it to the substrate.
Lubricity can easily be tailored to the device by varying the
proportions of the hydrophilic
and hydrophobic components in the coating.
Advantages
:
Easy, low
friction insertion,manipulation and removal of devices.
Customizable lubricity,a real advantage over
“one-size-fits-all”.
Devices with irregular geometries are easily coated.
Permanent bond.
Low cost, reliable processing.
