LUBRICIOUS COATING COMPOSITION FOR DEVICES

摘要

Alternative coating compositions and/or methods of coating a medical device. Some examples include coating compositions comprising a polyester urethane and a polyether in a substantially aqueous carrier. The coating composition may be provided as a one or two part system and may be applied by a variety of coating methods, in some cases without a requirement for special equipment or undue industrial hygiene concerns. Additionally, methods of coating medical devices with substantially aqueous coating compositions and the resulting coated medical devices. The composition may be applied to all or part of a medical device by spraying, dipping, brushing, extruding, or the like. After the coating composition has been applied, the substantially aqueous carrier, including any attendant cosolvents or other volatile species, may be removed, typically by heating with optional enhanced air flow although simple evaporation at ambient conditions may also be used.
