BRANCHBURG, N.J.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Hydromer, Inc. (HYDI.OB - OTC BB; HDO - BSX), a New Jersey
biotech
company publicly traded since 1982, has developed a new biopolymer
matrix (F201) with superb lubricity, exceeding over 100 cycles of wet
abrasion tests with up to 94% friction reduction. The new polymer is
non-cytotoxic with excellent adhesion to PEBAX® Resins, Stainless
Steel, Polyurethane and much more. The very first potential
application would be in super slippery catheter placement guidewires.
Hydromer will be seeking medical device manufacturers to enter into
confidentiality agreements with non-analysis restrictions, submit
their guidewire samples for trial coating and provide feedback to
Hydromer. Hydromer expects this evaluation phase to help explore the
capabilities of this potentially new ground breaking technology. The
Company is in the process of filing a patent application on this
technology to protect its interests on a worldwide basis. This release
is not to be construed as an offer to sell any products or license any
art based on this new technology.
