Surmodics, Inc
Surmodics is a leading provider of medical device coating technologies and services. We help manufacturers improve device performance through hydrophilic, hemocompatible, drug delivery, and antimicrobial coatings, supported by rapid feasibility studies, contract coating, and analytical testing.
Rapid Feasibility Services for Hydrophilic Medical Device Coatings
Surmodics Rapid Feasibility Services helps medical device manufacturers quickly evaluate hydrophilic coating solutions, so teams can make faster, more informed development decisions earlier in the design process.
Leveraging Surmodics’ portfolio of industry-leading hydrophilic coatings, customers can rapidly compare coating options, assess device compatibility, and optimize performance based on their unique substrate, geometry, and clinical application. Rapid coating application and performance evaluation turnaround times are as fast as 24 hours.
With development centers located in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Galway, and Copenhagen, Surmodics’ global team can support programs across multiple regions and time zones. Their feasibility-first approach is designed to identify potential coating challenges early, reduce development risk, and accelerate the path from concept to development. To further support decision-making, Surmodics also offers analytical testing and characterization capabilities that provide additional insight into coating performance, durability, and device behavior under simulated-use conditions.
Analytical Testing for Coated Medical Devices
Surmodics Analytical Testing Services provides medical device manufacturers with the technical insight needed to accelerate development, reduce risk, and support regulatory readiness.
Purpose-built for coated medical devices, these testing capabilities help characterize coating performance, material properties, and device behavior under real-world and simulated-use conditions.
Services include: surface characterization, lubricity and durability testing, particulate analysis, coating thickness measurement, microscopy, analytical chemistry, and material identification.
By combining advanced instrumentation with decades of coating expertise, Surmodics can reduce coating evaluation timelines from months to weeks while generating meaningful performance data to support development decisions, root-cause investigations, process optimization, verification activities, and regulatory submissions, helping customers move development forward with confidence.
