Specialty Formulations, Coatings, Compounding and Extrusion and Molding Services
Ready-coat antimicrobial formulations for medical grade silicone tubing or other polymeric materials are readily available. Such coatings
applied on Foley catheters have been found to be biocompatible and these materials have been successfully clinically evaluated under an IDE
in a human clinical trial. However, for other applications of ICET formulations to a specific medical devices requires FDA approval.
