Hydromer, Inc., a specialist in medical coatings and surface technologies, has announced a new commercial partnership with Avem Market Solutions to expand access to its coating platforms across Ireland, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The collaboration is designed to strengthen Hydromer’s reach and technical support for medical device developers in these regions, offering a direct channel to validated coating technologies that have been integrated into devices used globally in interventional, surgical, and diagnostic procedures.
Under the partnership, Avem will serve as Hydromer’s strategic representative, providing access to hydrophilic, lubricious, antimicrobial, and thrombo-resistant coating platforms. The agreement also includes custom formulation and R&D support for early development, scalable coating equipment, and localized commercial guidance from a team immersed in European and UK medtech ecosystems. The goal is to help developers reduce time to market, enhance device performance, and streamline the transition from prototype to full-scale manufacturing.
European and UK medtech companies face increasing pressure to innovate quickly while meeting strict regulatory expectations. This partnership brings together Hydromer’s scientific expertise and Avem’s regional commercial insight to make advanced coating solutions easier to access, understand, and implement. By combining Hydromer’s technical capabilities with Avem’s network and on-the-ground presence, device manufacturers gain earlier visibility into validated coating options, hands-on support for feasibility studies and scale-up, and a reliable resource for navigating technical and operational challenges.
