What are the classifications of super-smooth coatings for wire guiding

Hydrophilic coating and hydrophobic coating.

1, hydrophilic coating: PEG, PVP and polysaccharides, pretreatment can be applied to laser irradiation, plasma etching and so on.

2. Hydrophobic coating: PTFE, commonly used in guidewire coating to reduce the friction between microcatheter and guidewire, not used in vascular lumens.
