Harland Medical Systems proudly announces the availability of a new family of Ultraviolet Curable Hydrophilic Coatings. Lubricent Hydrophilic Coatings provide a complete solution to your coating program.

Biocompatible coatings have become a necessity for a wide range of medical devices when the inherent surface properties of the base material do not offer the optimum properties demanded by the procedure. The most popular of these properties is lubricity or low surface friction. Harland's new Lubricent coating offers a versatile chemistry platform that can be tailored to satisfy the surface requirements of your particular device.

Superior Processing

Because Harland Coatings are UV curable, they offer superior processing compared with heat-cured systems. UV cured coatings from Harland are fully cured in as little as 3 minutes, while heat-cured coating systems can require several hours to fully cure.

Material Description

Harland Hydrophilic coatings consist of a blend of a hydrogel-forming polymer combined with a proprietary photo-reactive compound dissolved in isopropyl alcohol. When stimulated by a specific spectrum of UV light, the photo-reactive compound crosslinks the polymer into a water trapping hydrogel and binds the coating to the device surface.

Regulatory Support

A Device Master File with the FDA contains detailed coating information and data to supplement and speed the approval process.

Supplied Ready to Use

All Lubricent Coating Solutions are prepared under strict cGMP procedures and supplied to you ready for use. No time-consuming reagent mixing is required. With ready-to-use coating solution there's no concern about off-specification solution cause by measurement or mixing errors.

Integrated with Harland Application Equipment

Harland can provide a complete integrated solution to your coating program. Maximize the performance and productivity of Lubricent coatings by teaming the coating with one of Harland Medical's proven automated coating and testing platforms.

Let Us Show You What We Can Do

Send us a few sample devices for us to coat. We'll be happy to demonstrate our Lubricent coating technology for you on your device. We will provide a report on the lubricity and durability measured on the Harland's FTS Friction Tester and coated samples for your own analysis and testing. See the performance of this chemistry on your substrate, just give us a call today!
