Freudenberg Medical Launches LubriTeq Hydrophilic Coating for Advanced Medical Devices

Freudenberg Medical has launched LubriTeq, a high-performance hydrophilic coating designed to enhance the functionality and patient comfort of minimally invasive medical devices. The new coating technology offers low friction, strong adhesion, and durability, supporting smoother device navigation and improved clinical handling across a wide range of applications.

Clinical Performance and Patient Benefits:

LubriTeq is engineered to deliver consistent lubricity when activated by fluids, reducing insertion forces and minimizing tissue trauma during procedures. Its robust coating integrity supports repeated use and complex device geometries, making it suitable for catheters, guidewires, and other interventional devices. This performance profile aligns with the growing demand for safer and more comfortable minimally invasive procedures.

Strengthening Freudenberg’s MedTech Portfolio:

The launch of LubriTeq reinforces Freudenberg Medical’s strategy to expand its value-added materials and surface technologies portfolio. By offering advanced coatings alongside its existing component and system capabilities, the company aims to deepen partnerships with medical device OEMs and address evolving regulatory and performance requirements in the global medtech market.
