Hydrax - Hydrophilic Coating
Hydrax® product range is a versatile coating system applicable to many substrates used in medical devices. Hydrax® attracts and retains water to the surface. It enhances the surface lubricity and reduces possible tissue trauma. Hydrax® technology is primarily designed to enhance interventional procedures in coronary, peripheral, and neurovascular therapies, due to excellent lubricity and low friction properties. Hydrax® is the result of more than 10 years of research and development in the hydrophilic coating field. Our ultraviolet (UV) technology coatings are manufactured under ISO 13485. Our polymer expertise allowed us to design a hydrophilic coating with longer durability and low particulate release under stress.
Hydrax® provides a reduction of friction, improves pushability, trackability, and crossability. The coating is biocompatible, non-cytotoxic and does not induce thrombogenicity. It is designed to enhance the use of the medical device by the specialist. Moreover, Hydrax® product range brings advanced navigation, taking the physical and mechanical properties of the device to the maximum.
