Enable first time right ultrasound guided interventions

SonoCoat® technology brings best-in-class ultrasound visibility that is angle-independent and ready for deep-tissue application.

About SonoCoat®

Next generation of medical device coating solutions

Our platform technologies deliver a comprehensive toolkit for medical device manufacturers. From nanoscale hydrophilic layers to acoustic enhancement, our technologies integrate seamlessly into existing manufacturing workflows without compromising device integrity or performance.

Anti-fouling icon

Passive anti-microbial defense (anti-fouling)

LipoCoat® patented technology, prevents build-up of pathogens and limits biofim formation. It is designed to last up to 29-days.

Hydrophilic surface icon

Hydrophilic surface

LipoCoat® technology furthermore delivers a hydrophilic and low-friction surface that enhances device usability and comfort.

Acoustic enhancement

Standard needles and catheters disappear on ultrasound screens during critical procedures. SonoCoat® patented technology scatters ultrasound in all directions. The result is crystal-clear beacon, even under extreme insertion angles and at increased tissue depth.

Lubricity icon

Improved dry lubricity

LipoCoat® technology can also be deployed as sustainable alternative to PFAS and Si-solutions to enhance dry lubricity. It achieves dry friction reduction comparable to silicone oil.

Learned from millions years of evolution

Lipocoat began with one question: what makes the human cell membrane so good at keeping proteins and bacteria from sticking to it? The answer became a coating platform free of PFAS, silicones and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Ten years on, we develop, produce and supply two technologies, LipoCoat® and SonoCoat®, from our own ISO 13485:2016 certified facility in Enschede.

Advanced medical coatings, tailored to your standards

Whether you need a thinner, smoother finish, or enhanced wettability and lubricity, we understand that every application has unique requirements. We can tailor our coatings to your exact specifications without altering the device's underlying mechanical properties or dimensions.

Add value to your exhisting portfolio of medical instruments

Enhance your medical device performance with seamlees integration. Our OEM-ready coating technologies provide you with a unique competitive advantage.

Maintain your core product integrity
