Hydrophilic catheter coatings are transforming patient care by reducing friction, minimizing urethral trauma, and improving overall comfort during catheterization. Unlike uncoated catheters that require manual lubrication, hydrophilic coatings activate with water or saline, creating a smooth, lubricious surface that reduces insertion pain and the risk of infection. Key Benefits of Hydrophilic Catheters:  ✅ Lower friction for easier insertion and withdrawal  ✅ Reduced risk of infection due to minimal manual handling  ✅ Enhanced patient comfort with improved lubricity  ✅ Greater convenience with pre-lubricated coatings  ✅ Cost-effective by lowering complications and additional material needs At Hydromer™, we develop custom hydrophilic coatings for catheters and other medical devices, ensuring superior biocompatibility, durability, and performance.
