Coatings - Medical laboratories may also do the following tests:

Biocompatibility Testing: Assesses the compatibility of coatings with body tissues and fluids following ISO 10993 standards Testing
Lubricity Testing: Measures the ease of device insertion and movement crucial for patient comfort and safety Testing
Anti-Microbial Efficacy Testing: Evaluates the effectiveness of anti-microbial coatings in inhibiting bacterial growth Testing
Drug Release Kinetics: Determines the rate and duration of drug release from drug-eluting coatings ensuring therapeutic effectiveness Testing
Wear and Durability Testing: Assesses the coating's resistance to wear and degradation over time Testing
Chemical Resistance Testing: Evaluates the stability of coatings when exposed to disinfectants and cleaning agents Testing
Adhesion Testing: Measures the bond strength of coatings to medical device surfaces ensuring longevity and performance Testing
