Cardiology
As minimally invasive procedures become the preferred cardiology treatment in so many areas, the surface performance of the devices they employ is critical. Catheter-delivered procedures address smaller and smaller anatomies while the devices being employed grow larger and more complex. These trends make it essential to minimize friction between devices, catheters and tissue to ensure optimal outcomes. In addition to reduced friction, infection and its costly consequences must be minimized when device implants are introduced to the body.
