Low-profile electrospun coatings and coverings for minimally invasive medical devices
The Caladrix® platform provides electrospun coatings and coverings on medical devices, textiles, meshes, stents, valves, frames and implants.
It helps device teams add functional surface performance – including permeability control, adhesion, flexibility and tissue interaction – while supporting the low-profile requirements of minimally invasive devices and delivery systems.
For cardiovascular, vascular and other implantable applications, Caladrix® coatings and coverings are designed with development, validation, scale-up and manufacturing in mind.

Caladrix Technology Benefits
Electrospun Coating Performance Engineered to the Device – Designing coatings and coverings around device performance requirements rather than as separate surface layers
Low-Profile Coatings and Coverage – Delivering enhanced functionality at approximately 20-50 microns where application requirements allow
Permeability Control – Tuning coating structures to influence permeability, sealing behaviour and fluid movement across surfaces
Adhesion and Reduced Delamination Risk – Supporting robust integration between electrospun layers and underlying textile, frame or implant structures
Flexible Mechanical Performance – Engineering coatings and hybrid structures that flex, conform and move with the device during use
Sutureless or Reduced-Suture Construction – Enabling electrospun fibres to integrate with device structures while reducing reliance on sutures
Selective Coating or Full Encapsulation – Applying electrospun material only where needed or creating full coverings and multi-layer structures
Hybrid Textile Structures – Combining electrospun fibres with woven, knitted or mesh materials for structural and functional performance
