These coatings reduce procedure times by making it easier to thread a catheter through the vasculature during a minimally invasive surgery. Additionally, ISurGlide coatings reduce tissue damage during the passage of the device. These factors create better outcomes for the patient.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What types of devices use ISurGlide coatings?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"ISurGlide coatings are used on many types of medical devices including all varieties of catheters (PTCA, neurovascular, urinary, etc), guidewires, introducers and other single-use devices. In addition, ISurGlide coatings have been used in vitro on laboratory substrates, microfluidics, and other high-value non-medical applications. Many major medical device manufacturers in the US, Europe, and South America use ISurGlide coatings for their hydrophilic devices. ISurTec signs non-disclosure agreements as part of its licensing business model, so we cannot reveal the names of our customers. However, ISurGlide has been used on FDA-approved devices since 2007.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How lubricious are ISurGlide coatings?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"ISurGlide coatings feel very slippery when wet and lower the coefficient of friction from &gt;1.0 for most medical device materials to &lt; 0.05. You will be able to feel the difference our lubricious coating makes.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How thick are ISurGlide coatings, and why do they swell with water?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"ISurGlide coatings contain hydrogels \\u2013 polymers that swell in water to many times their initial dry volume. With their high water content, hydrogels are similar to tissues in the body. The swollen hydrogel can release or reorient water when compressed, allowing it to slide through the vasculature more easily to limit tissue damage. ISurGlide coatings swell to 3-10 times their size when wet.ISurGlide coatings range from 50 microns to less than 2 microns thick when hydrated. A typical coating is 5-10 microns thick when wet.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What substrates can ISurGlide coatings bond to?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"ISurGlide coatings can bond to most medical device substrates including PEBAX, nylon, PVC, polyurethanes, polyethylene, as well as other commonly used substrates like polystyrene, polypropylene, PET, and polycarbonates. With pre-treatment, ISurGlide coatings can also be applied to metals, ceramics, and glass. ISurGlide coatings crosslink and bond to almost any plastic containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. However, ISurGlide coatings cannot directly bond to polymers lacking C-H bonds, including entirely fluorinated substrates such as Teflon.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How are ISurGlide coatings applied?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"ISurGlide coatings are typically applied by a dip coating process followed by UV curing.
