Hydrophilic Coating on DES

SurModics' Hydrophilic Coating finds use on Medtronic’s Resolute Integrity Drug-Eluting Stent Delivery System.


Officials from SurModics Inc., a leading provider of surface modification and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) technologies to the healthcare industry, announce that its proprietary hydrophilic technology is being used on Medtronic’s U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Resolute Integrity Drug-Eluting Stent (DES) delivery system for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD).

“We are extremely pleased that our hydrophilic coating was selected for use on the delivery catheter of Medtronic’s Resolute Integrity DES delivery system. SurModics values the long-standing relationship with Medtronic and remains steadfast in complementing the deliverability of the Resolute Integrity DES through our advanced hydrophilic coating platforms,” says Gary Maharaj, president and CEO of SurModics.

Advanced deliverability to navigate, successfully, the challenging anatomical sites faced by today’s interventional cardiologist is one unique attribute of the Resolute Integrity DES system.
