Guidewires, Mandrels, Hypotubes, Solid Wire & Snap Wire

FluoroWire and VisiMark, your guidewires, mandrels, hypotubes, solid wires and snap wires will be in the hands of our tenacious, highly capable and well-trained coating professionals. Through our automated coating systems, we apply the exact right amount of coating that your wires need. Learn more about our Guidewire coating capabilities.

Reel-to-Reel Continuous Length

Our well-trained professionals apply FluoroWire and FluoroMed-AM to take of your wires, cables and tubing even if they are on reels. We guarantee the best quality of coatings for your reels through our automated coating systems. Learn more about our reel-to-reel, continuous coating capabilities.

Precision and Miniature Devices

Our VisiMark, VisiBond, and FluoroBond-N coatings assist in making sure the patient is in a safe environment during their procedures. With these special coatings, the chance of trauma to a patient is reduced and procedures are performed more effectively. Learn more about our Precision coating capabilities.

Electrosurgical Blades and Devices

Our highly trained coating experts and our state of the art facility allow us to coat most medical devices with ElectroBond or FluoroBond-N/N-2. These coatings provide a non-stick element to the products that you send us. Learn more about our Blade and Device coating capabilities.

Catheters

When it comes to catheters, it’s important that the sanitization and safety of the patient and catheter comes first. Our Slick Sil LSR and FluoroMed-AM coatings reduce the friction properties of the catheter and also ensures that any bacterial concerns are taken care of. Learn more about our Catheter coating capabilities.

Rubber Parts

Our FluoroBond-R coatings add low-friction properties to your rubber parts. Rubber surfaces that are normally high friction are transformed into a more durable, low-friction surface. Learn more about our rubber coating capabilities.

PTFE Coated Medical Components

Innovation is key. We are always looking to improve because we believe that adapting to the market is what allows us to succeed and to produce better results than the competition.
