Medical Device Coatings

medical device coatings

Endura® delivers precision medical device coatings engineered for the world's most demanding healthcare manufacturing requirements. Our comprehensive portfolio of medical grade coatings includes PTFE/fluoropolymer, composite, PVD/CVD, antimicrobial, and thermally deposited systems — each engineered to meet specific functional performance objectives across a wide range of medical device and equipment applications. Our proprietary biocompatible coating systems — validated per ISO 10993 — are custom-engineered to deliver the precise surface characteristics your medical device or tooling component demands.

Whether your use environment demands wear resistance, non-stick, hydrophilic / hydrophobic, low friction, dielectric / conductive or corrosion resistant surface properties, we offer a wide breadth of application solutions to meet and/or exceed your performance requirements. We possess and globally supply, bio-approved coating solutions for such applications as seen below.

Medical Device Coating Types

Endura® offers a full range of medical device coating services tailored to performance, compliance, and application requirements:

  • PTFE & Fluoropolymer Coatings — Non-stick, low-friction coatings ideal for catheter manufacturing, guide wires, and surgical instrumentation. FDA-compliant and ISO 10993 biocompatible.

  • PVD / CVD Coatings — Ultra-hard, thin-film physical vapor deposition coatings engineered for extreme wear resistance in high-demand medical device environments.

  • Antimicrobial Coatings — Surface-active antimicrobial coating solutions that inhibit microbial growth on medical device surfaces and equipment.

  • Electroless Nickel Plating — Precision corrosion-resistant plating for medical implant components and precision tooling.

  • Composite & Dry Film Lubricant Coatings — Low-friction solid film lubricant systems for medical device assemblies and manufacturing tooling.

  • Thermal Spray Coatings — High-performance thermally deposited coatings for wear and corrosion protection across a range of medical manufacturing applications.

Medical Coating Applications

From catheters and guide wires to surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment, our coatings serve a broad spectrum of medical device and tooling applications, including:

  • Catheter manufacturing

  • Cannulas

  • Surgical disposable instrumentation devices (blades, anvils, triggers)

  • Diagnostic probes

  • Guide wires

  • Tipping dies/mandrels

  • Blister packaging

  • Various molding/tooling components

  • Surgical instruments and cutting tools

  • Medical implant components

  • Drug delivery devices and assemblies

Custom Medical Device Coating Solutions

Beyond our standard medical coatings portfolio, Endura® provides custom "build-to-spec" medical device coating services for medical OEMs, device manufacturers, and tooling suppliers. Our team is experienced across the full medical device development cycle and regularly collaborates with engineering and design groups to both coat and fabricate medical devices and tooling components to exact specification. This end-to-end medical device coating service is delivered at a cost that typically outperforms in-house management — making Endura® a trusted single-source partner for medical manufacturers.

Our proprietary coating solutions can be engineered to provide the following:



Endura Coating Systems for Medical Coatings

    • Endura 200TX: A proprietary eletroless nickel co-polymer coating system designed to provide exceptionally low surface energies, low friction, chemical corrosion protection, and enhanced dr lubrication, in combination. We coat millions of surgical disposable anvils used in abdominal surgery, as well as, hundreds of medical molding tools in this coating annually.

    • Endura 202P: Multi-layer electroless nickel co-polymer coating system that possesses excellent non-stick properities and increased surface harness (up to 65 Rc) in combination. This coating is routinely used on pill punches for the pharmaceutical industry to help aid in product release, while reducing the number of cleaning cycles and correspondingly the "production downtime" of the tablet presses.

    • Endura 320M: Multi-layer proprietary fluoropolymer coating system that possesses exceptionally high release properities and non-stick surface characteristics. This coating is used to reduce tissue adhesion on various surgical ablation tools (blades, knives, etc.), allowing for improved cutting accuracy and easier "clean-ability" of devices for the surgeon.
