Biocoat launches HydroSleek
hydrophilic coating
Biocoat, Inc., has introduced HydroSleek,
the newest member of the Hydak product
line. Hydak HydroSleek coatings are based
on a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid
(HA). This technology has applications
among a range of fields including ophthalmology, urology, cardiology, endoscopy and
neurovascular. HydroSleek coatings have
overcome the trade off between lubricity
and durability seen in cross-linked coatings,
the company said. Additionally, HydroSleek
involves a heat-cure process so both ID and
OD may be coated without the concerns
surrounding UV curing. This new product
will act as Biocoat’s front line solution to
medical device firms seeking to reduce surface friction for their devices.

used on bathroom vanities, bar tops,
tabletops and more. Countertop Trans-
formations is available in a variety of on-
trend finishes to complement any décor,
including Pebbled Ivory, Desert Sand, Java
