What is an encapsulation coating?

An encapsulation coating is a conformal polymer barrier applied over a metal scaffold or structural component to seal and insulate it from the surrounding fluid or ambient environment. Bare metal frames — such as self-expanding stent scaffolds, occluder frames, and filter struts — can be susceptible to fluid ingress, corrosion, and undesired tissue interaction at exposed metal surfaces. MediShield™ Encapsulation Coating forms a tightly-bound, pinhole-free film that fully covers the underlying structure while preserving its designed geometry and mechanical behavior — providing barrier protection, electrical insulation, and long-term durability.

Overview

Conformal barrier protection for metal scaffolds

MediShield™ Encapsulation Coating is engineered to seal and insulate sensitive components, providing barrier protection, insulation, and durability for devices exposed to fluid or ambient environments. The coating forms a continuous, conformal film over the underlying structure — without compromising the designed flexibility or expansion behavior of the scaffold.

The coating can be tuned for softness and mechanical compliance to match the surrounding construction — without compromising bond strength or barrier integrity.

Benefits
