Problem
Medical tools and instruments are subject to bio-fouling resulting in unwanted adhesion of more biofilm over time.
Solution
IST and our customer developed a process in which PEG (Poly_Ethelene_Glycol) is deposited which is a known anti-fouling surface and approved by the FDA. The unique solution involved a high molecular weight PEG that is vapor deposited over all surfaces of the device.
