TUA has developed an ionically-bonded PTFE which provides the ultimate in release and lubricity qualities to the surface on which it is applied:

Ionic PTFE™ differs in important ways from the standard baked on PTFE coating that has been used for so many years.  Ionic PTFE™ is clear, and will not flake, crack, nor add rigidity to a device.  Ionic PTFE™ treated devices may be sterilized by steam, gamma, E-beam or ETO methods.  TUA's process allows for the treatment to provide an extremely long functional life for the surface on which it is applied, a significant advantage in the extended life span and substantial cost reduction to the user.

Ionic PTFE™ capabilities surpass those of any other coating or treatments of this type.  The process is 100% reproducible with thickness in the micron range.  Ionic PTFE™ can be applied to steel, nickel titanium, platinum, gold, plastics, glass and fabrics, and can easily be applied to both inner and outer surfaces.

TUA Systems' facility is FDA/ISO registered, and the company fully complies with all GMP requirements.  All medical coatings offered by TUA have passed Class-6 US FDA requirements.  Customers are encouraged to conduct their own testing for purposes of FDA filings.
