The Benchtop Balloon Catheter Coating System is a compact ultrasonic coating platform designed for depositing precise drug layers on balloon catheters and peripheral stents. Ideal for research laboratories and pilot-scale production, this benchtop system combines ultrasonic atomisation, digital control, and precision motion to ensure consistent balloon catheter coating quality and repeatability.
Developed for facilities with limited space or early-stage R&D needs, this Balloon Catheter Coating System delivers the same precision as larger industrial models in a smaller footprint.
It integrates ultrasonic control, liquid delivery, motion coordination, and balloon-holding mechanisms in one compact frame. The use of FocusMist or NanoMist ultrasonic nozzles allows atomised droplets to form highly uniform coatings without pinholes, adhesion, or orange-peel defects.
The system is suitable for drug-eluting coronary and peripheral balloon catheters, as well as peripheral stents, supporting both organic and water-based solvent coatings.
This advanced balloon catheter coating technology enables precise dosage and uniform coverage across complex geometries. Using ultrasonic vibration rather than high-pressure air, the coating process ensures low material waste and consistent drug delivery.
The digital ultrasonic controller offers power accuracy within 0.01 W, while the self-cleaning nozzle prevents clogging during extended use. Custom catheter holders allow fast loading and unloading of balloons up to 280 mm long, with optional stent holders for diameters up to 60 mm.
The Benchtop Balloon Catheter Coating System can be upgraded with multiple nozzles and patented multi-holder configurations, enabling coating of several devices simultaneously.
A built-in humidification module, based on submicron aerosol generation, improves coating crystallisation and layer uniformity.
The unit also integrates an exhaust connection compatible with laboratory or clean-room ventilation, ensuring safety and cleanliness during operation.
This coating system is ideal for:
Drug-eluting balloon catheters (coronary or peripheral)
Peripheral stents with polymer or solvent coatings
Biomedical and pharmaceutical coating research
Compact, accurate, and easy to operate, the Benchtop Balloon Catheter Coating System provides precise process control, reproducible results, and superior coating quality for research and small-scale production environments.
