Royal DSM (Netherlands), Hydromer Inc. (U.S.), Surmodics Inc. (U.S.), AST Products Inc. (U.S.), and Covalon Technologies Ltd. (Canada), Abbott Laboratories (U.S.), Precision Coatings Inc. (U.S.) - A Trusted Medical Coating Partner

The increasing concern about healthcare acquired infections, minimally invasive surgery and rising awareness about health-care and government initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare infrastructure especially in the emerging countries.

''The global Medical Coatings Market is projected to reach USD 15.15 Billion by 2021 at CAGR of 7.04% from 2016 to 2021. This high growth is fueled by increasing awareness about healthcare facilities and healthcare acquired infections globally."


Medical Devices: Major application of the medical coatings market
Medical devices broadly include orthopedic devices, cardiovascular devices, optical devices, endoscopic devices, radiological devices, and others. Several new coating technologies are being developed for application to these devices, to reduce the friction between the device and the tissue, and provide good surface coverage, wetting, uniform adhesion, wear-resistance and coating homogeneity. The developing medical coatings market in China and India is projected to boost the global medical device coatings market.

Hydrophilic Coatings-key coating type for medical coatings
The medical coatings market is segmented into two types: hydrophilic and hydrophobic coatings. These types have application specific demands that are differentiated by cost, and efficiency. These coatings may be used in combinations on medical products as required or individually. Hydrophilic coatings are widely used on medical products such as; guide wires, catheters, and introducer sheaths to lower the friction coefficient. The demand for hydrophilic coatings is high due to properties such as lubricity, durability, low friction coefficient, and low particulate count.

North America and Europe together are expected to account for around 70% of the medical coatings market, in terms of value, by 2021
North America is the largest market for medical coatings currently and the trend is expected to continue till 2021. The European medical coatings market is expected to show a slightly higher growth rate than the North American market. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to show the highest growth rate but the market share is currently lower than that in North America and Europe. The U.S., Germany, China, and Japan are the manufacturing hubs of medical products in the world and are major consumers of medical coatings.

Seeing is Believing: The Growth of the Medical Membranes Market

The medical membranes are widely used in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science industries. It is one of the important application areas as the choice of the membrane for this application depends on a number of factors. These factors include environments of the proposed application, degree of sterility required, chemical compatibility, biocompatibility, degree of hydrophobicity, device fabrication, and sterilization. Link to Download PDF Brochure   http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownload.asp?id=86 Medical membrane can be divided on the basis of their chemistry that are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyethylene (PE), modified acrylics, and others. PTFE is an inert material that has good flow properties with high chemical resistance. PVDF is also a durable material with good flow properties and broad chemical resistance. PE is a material with excellent flow properties and broad chemical resistance. Ba...

Growing Demand's of Adhesives in the Medical Device Industry - Medical Adhesives Market

Adhesives used for medical applications is one of the exciting segments in the specialty chemicals industry. Adhesives are critical components in the design and manufacture of the majority of medical devices. As medical devices become smaller and more complex, greater demands are being made on the materials and components used in them. As the adhesives industry used responds to the challenges of this market, new advances are widening the performance envelope for medical adhesives. Variations in polymer compositions, coupled with compounding differences, are allowing properties to be tailored to meet specific application requirements, including biostability, sterilization effects, and mechanical properties. Perhaps even more exiting are estimates that only about one-half of the applications that could be served by adhesives are actually using adhesives in assembly, leaving significant growth opportunity. By all measures, growth potential is very attractive and this market segment gene...
