Conformal Hydrogel Coatings on Catheters To Reduce Biofouling

Reducing biofouling while increasing lubricity of inserted medical catheters is highly desirable to improve their comfort, safety, and long-term use. We report here a simple method to create thin (∼30 μm) conformal lubricating hydrogel coatings on catheters. The key to this method is a three-step pr...
