- Features & Benefits
- pH Modulated: pHreeCOAT’s patent pending composition modulates surface pH and thus prevents the deposition of seed crystals. The buffering action of pHreeCOAT is designed to work in all physiological environments.
- Encrustation Resistant: Substrates coated with pHreeCOAT resist encrustation even after 4 weeks in urine.
- Aqueous: pHreeCOAT, as part of the LubriLASTTM family of coatings, contains no organic solvents. Safer and cleaner manufacturing processes are used and any concerns about residual solvents in a device are eliminated.
- Biocompatible: pHreeCOAT is biocompatible as evidenced by successfully passing cytotoxicity, systemic injection, and direct hemolysis tests.
- Adherent: pHreeCOAT can be applied to virtually any biomaterial or device with no flaking or delamination.

Technical Details & Test Data
- How does pHreeCOAT work?
pHreeCOAT is a new, patent-pending anti-encrustation coating in the LubriLAST family. It prevents mineral deposition on indwelling medical devices. pHreeCOAT can be used in any application where calcification of a device compromises performance, patient comfort or safety. By modulating surface pH and chemistry, pHreeCOAT renders the device virtually invisible to the calcification process.
