Surmodics ST is designed for teams that need coatings that:

Perform reliably in dynamic, tortuous paths

Maintain exceptional lubricity and durability

Integrate seamlessly into lean manufacturing

Support metals, polymers, and difficult-to-coat materials

Are developed by people who anticipate challenges before they arise

Surface Technologies Engineered by People Who Understand Device Behavior

Our expanded platform supports a wide range of device requirements. Each capability is backed by specialists with years of experience in coating behavior, substrate interaction, and process development.

Hydrophilic Coatings

Surmodics Services & Technologies hydrophilic coatings are engineered with enhanced lubricity, superior durability and the lowest particulate counts.

Inner Diameter Coating Technologies

By combining Surmodics ST’s advanced thermal coating technology with the expertise of our engineering team, we are able to apply coatings to the inner diameter of your medical device.

Direct-to-Metal Coatings

Our bi-laminar coatings use advanced adhesion technology, enabling them to bond directly to metal substrates such as Nitinol, stainless steel, and others, without needing a tie-layer or primer.

Silicone Coating Solutions

Although silicone is a notoriously challenging substrate to coat, proper pretreatment and expertise have enabled SST to apply uniform coatings successfully.

Material Compatibility

Coatings designed for Pebax, nylon, polyurethane, PEEK, HDPE, stainless steel, Nitinol, silicone, and complex blends. All validated through hands-on substrate expertise.

Sterilization-Ready Technologies

Our coatings have been expertly tested, and our evaluation indicates that our performance is consistent under gamma, e-beam and EtO.
