Parylene Protects Stents

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Dec 16, 2016

Biocompatible parylene conformal coatings provide superior protection for medical stents.  They represent an enabling technology consistently applied to medical devices of all types for 35 years, to diminish problems stemming from surface microporosity and consequent biofluid corrosion after implant.  Providing a reliable barrier to chemicals and moisture, parylene’s static and dynamic coeffic

Parylene: Protecting Life-Enhancing Medical MEMS Technologies

Posted by Sean Horn on Wed, Jan 15, 2014

Driving development of such emerging areas as microfluidics, advanced bio-sensing, capsule endoscopy, and personalized medicine, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are enabling an array of breakthroughs that promise to enhance patient care and outcomes.  Protecting sensitive MEMS products from the harsh conditions both inside the body and out is Parylene conformal coating, which is helping to

Parylene for use in Bio-Medical implantable devices

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, Jun 12, 2012

Whenever implantable devices come into contact with the human body, long term protection against body fluids, enzymes, proteins, and lipids is vital.  Bio-medical surfaces typically require coating to protect from moisture, chemicals, and other potentially harmful substances. A downfall for wet chemistry, liquid coatings such as silicones, acrylics, epoxy, or urethanes is that they do […]
