A wide variety of coatings can be added to the surface of a complex medical balloon to enhance or change its properties to meet new requirements, including:

• Lubricious coatings (hydrophilic and hydrophobic)
• Abrasion- and puncture-resistant coatings
• Tacky or high-friction coatings
• Conductive coatings
• Antithrombogenic coatings
• Drug-release coatings
• Reflective coatings
• Selective coatings
