Medical Component Coating

Because Parylene has excellent barrier properties, cannot be hydrolytically degraded in the corrosive biological environment and is capable of penetrating and coating the bore of narrow tubes it has many uses in this field:

Protecting electronic circuitry and other components for example in pacemakers

Protecting the body from toxic materials

Adding surface lubricity to improve the functioning of catheters, probes, etc

Trapping and preventing the production of surface debris in, for example, implants
