Precision extrusion at the core of medical innovation
At Alleima, we advance medical device performance through specialized polyurethane (PU) extrusion technologies. Our core extrusion capabilities deliver precise, reliable coatings engineered for the stringent demands of minimally invasive procedures. With a focus on dimensional accuracy, safety, and proven biocompatibility, we provide guidewire solutions you can trust—enabling next-generation medical innovation.
Our expertise
We offer a comprehensive range of polymer coating solutions, including polyurethane (PU) and hydrophilic coatings, applied through state-of-the-art extrusion processes. These coatings form a protective layer or jacket around guidewires and other components, delivering:
- Enhanced navigation through reduced friction and smoother surface finish
- Improved safety by preventing damage to core wires during surgical procedures
- Precise dimensional control, ensuring consistent coating thickness and concentricity
- Material versatility, with coatings applicable to a wide range of alloy sizes and geometries
- Our polyurethane coatings are available in multiple temperature ratings (155°C and 180°C) and are solderable, making them suitable for a variety of downstream applications. Hydrophilic coatings further improve device maneuverability in wet environments, critical for endoscopic and catheter-based interventions.
