Hydromer Expands Into UV Coating and Curing Equipment Manufacturing to Provide End-to-End Medical Device Solutions

Hydromer, Inc. announced its expansion into the manufacturing and global supply of leading-edge UV coating, curing and testing equipment. By integrating proprietary coatings and liners with high-performance machinery, Hydromer now provides a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for medical device manufacturers worldwide. This integrated platform allows manufacturers to correlate process parameters directly with performance outcomes, supporting compliance with ISO 13485 and FDA Quality System Regulations (21 CFR Part 820).

The Company’s expanded equipment platform includes hydrophilic coating equipment that delivers uniform coating application and UV curing with minimal manual intervention. An automated high-throughput coating system is a modular system comprised of load, dip coating and UV curing workstations. The fully automated configuration is designed to be operated by a single operator to increase production rates and reduce reliance on manual labor. Friction testing equipment is designed for lubricity tests with precise and repeatable measurements to support performance evaluation and quality control.

Michael Torti, CEO of Hydromer, stated that by manufacturing and supplying the equipment used to apply industry-leading hydrophilic coatings, the company eliminates technical barriers and helps clients reduce time to market while maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory confidence. This expansion represents a strategic move to control the entire coating application process, from formulation to equipment, ensuring consistency and reliability for medical device manufacturers. The integration of coatings and equipment addresses key challenges in medical device production, such as variability in manual processes and the need for stringent quality assurance.

The importance of this announcement lies in its potential to streamline medical device manufacturing by offering a unified system that enhances efficiency and compliance. Medical device manufacturers often face complexities in coating applications, requiring specialized equipment and expertise to meet regulatory standards. Hydromer’s new equipment platform aims to simplify these processes, reducing the risk of defects and accelerating product development cycles. This could lead to faster market entry for new medical devices, ultimately benefiting healthcare providers and patients through improved product availability and performance.
