Fluorescent polymeric coating films visible in near-infrared light for coating a medical device are provided, and a method for preparing said NIR visible polymeric coating films. In particular, the fluorescent polymeric coating films visible in near-infrared light for coating a medical device are in the form of a single layer or multiple layers where said single layer or at least one of said multiple layers comprises a hydrophobic polymer, a ionic fluorescent dye and a counterion of said ionic fluorescent dye. The fluorescent dye is a near-infrared dye which belongs to the family of long-chain cyanine 7.5 derivatives, and their analogues.
