Engineering the Future of Surface Performance
We invest in the people, chemistry, and technology required to turn next-generation catheter concepts into high-performance manufacturing realities.
A Proving Ground for Medical Breakthroughs
At Applied Plastics, we recognize that the next breakthrough in catheter technology requires more than a standard coating, it requires a custom engineered solution. By prioritizing early-stage experimentation, we help our partners minimize technical risk and accelerate their time-to-market.
Advanced Prototyping & Material Characterization
Our lab is equipped with specialized versions of our proprietary production equipment, allowing us to mimic full-scale manufacturing conditions for even the smallest prototype batches. This ensures that the results achieved in the lab are fully transferable to high-volume production.
Services for Accelerated Development
Rapid Prototype Iteration
We provide quick-turn coating samples for "proof of concept" testing, allowing engineers to evaluate different lubricity levels and thicknesses in days rather than weeks.
Custom Substrate Evaluation
From thin-walled hypotubes to complex Nitinol structures, we analyze how our PTFE Natural® process interacts with new alloys and geometries to optimize bond strength and surface finish.
Comparative Benchmarking
Our engineers conduct rigorous performance testing including coefficient of friction analysis and wear resistance. This provides the data-backed confidence required for critical device components.
