Do Either of These Scenarios Below Sound Familiar to You?
LUBRICANT CAUSING MECHANICAL PROBLEMS:
Your team is excited about the upcoming product launch. Clinical trials, contract manufacturing agreements, device design, all coming together... Then your medical device runs into stick-slip, inconsistent or high forces, and dosage inaccuracy issues.

LUBRICANT CAUSING PARTICLE PROBLEMS:
You've been charged with getting a prefilled syringe or medical device to market.
Suddenly, test results reveal sub-visible particles, protein aggregation, or worse, changes in the efficacy of the drug.
If you haven't yet encountered a lubricant issue, the worst thing you can do is wait for something to go wrong.
Why TriboFilm Research?
Tribofilm has patented two next-generation coating technologies that offer the industry options when silicone oil does not meet requirements: TriboGlide-DS® and TriboLink-Si®.
TriboGlide-DS® and TriboLink-Si® were developed with support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (Small Business Innovation Research grants), in consultation with medical device companies struggling with lubricant-triggered forces and particle problems.
