Coatings | Caladrix® Technology

Combining our experience in material science and medical engineering with state of-the-art electrospinning equipment, we provide you with the future of implant coverings. Whether it’s a nitinol frame or a polymer mesh, we will collaborate with you to find a covering solution.

Through direct deposition of the fibres onto the device we can achieve excellent encapsulation whilst our adhesion expertise ensures bonding of the electrospun textile to the frame. We are specialists in low profile coverings with low friction deployment profiles, fine-tuning permeability and creating strong, safe devices that last, all from medical grade, biostable polymers.

Whether you are developing the next generation heart valve, coronary stent, or occlusion device, we stand ready to work with you from early prototype to full scale manufacturing.
