How can medical device coatings improve hemocompatibility, reduce thrombosis risk, and support better patient outcomes? In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, Steve talks with Chris and Glenn about antithrombogenic coatings and the science behind PolyXene F, a nano-thin polymer coating designed to improve the biocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices. They explore how PolyXene F supports healthy endothelialization, offers thrombo-resistance, and can be used in applications such as coronary stents, vascular implants, and other blood-contacting devices. The conversation also covers hemocompatibility testing, particulate testing, coating durability, and why validation matters when bringing advanced surface technologies into regulated medtech applications. Chris and Glenn also discuss flexible partnership and business models that can help device companies access coating innovation more efficiently. For medtech professionals in product development, coatings, biomaterials, cardiovascular devices, and contract manufacturing, this episode is a practical look at the future of medical device surface technology.
