SCS Medical Coatings: Vital Performance And Protection For Medical Device Applications
Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) offers a variety medical coatings and technologies to support a range of medical device applications, including elastomeric seals, forming mandrels, pacemaker components, and stents. The biocompatible, biostable SCS Parylene coatings provide excellent moisture, and chemical dielectric barrier protection. These coatings also feature a low coefficient of friction for applications where lubricity is important.
The new SCS microRESIST® Antimicrobial Parylene Technology is now available from SCS for variety of medical devices and applications. microRESIST® combines the benefits of biocompatible Parylene coatings with effective antimicrobial properties to effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms on coated medical devices. This technology is tested per JIS Z 2801, and has demonstrated greater than Log 5 reduction on 14 of the most common microorganisms. It has also demonstrated 7 and 15 day kill effectiveness (greater than Log 5) on E. coli.
