SCS Biocompatible Parylene Coatings Protect Critical Medical Devices

Advances in science and medical technologies have significantly enhanced the quality of patient care through the use of specialized components, vital-measuring sensors and other critical medical devices and components. Due to the harsh environmental conditions and stringent performance requirements that medical technologies are subjected to, it is crucial to protect components with a reliable conformal coating. Parylene conformal coatings provide a host of beneficial attributes, including biocompatibility and biostability, dielectric and barrier protection, dry-film lubricity and ultra-thin and pinhole-free encapsulation.

Enhancing Medical Device Performance with Parylene Conformal Coatings

The Parylenes have long been a preferred solution for critical medical devices due to their inherent biocompatibility and biostability. Implantable devices, such as neurostimulation devices and pacemakers, rely on Parylenes for functionality and long-term reliability. Sensor technologies, including pressure, temperature, flow and imaging technology, require conformal coating protection to continuously and accurately monitor vitals without risk of failure due to environmental conditions.

Parylene Coatings: The Ultimate Protection for Medical Electronics and Devices

Medical-grade silicone and rubber products, such as o-rings, seals, gaskets and tubing, can require a coating with a high degree of flexibility. Parylene conformal coatings improve surface cleanliness and reduce tackiness, protecting surfaces from both organic solvents and inorganic reagents. Additionally, the coatings serve as a barrier to tie down particulates. Parylene coatings protect medical electronic components from moisture, biofluids, biogases and sterilization processes that can cause assemblies to fail prematurely. Coatings are used to protect a wide range of technologies, including electromechanical and electrosurgical devices, infusion and fluid heating technologies, robotic surgical systems and ultrasound and x-ray imaging platforms.

SCS Parylene conformal coatings provide superior protection for devices and components, enhancing the reliability of both current and emerging medical electronics and technologies.
