SurModics Launches Direct-to-Metal Coating for Medical Devices

SurModics announced MetalPro™, a direct-to-metal UV cure hydrophilic coating, at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics conference in San Diego. The coating is engineered to bond directly to metal surfaces without needing primers or tie-layers. This direct-to-metal approach simplifies coating applications and offers manufacturers greater design flexibility for complex catheter systems.

The new coating platform aims to reduce process complexity and has the potential to lower overall coating costs for medical device manufacturers. By eliminating additional tie-layers, MetalPro simplifies the manufacturing process while maintaining high-performance hydrophilic coating technology.
