Abstract
Flexible medical articles have a barrier polymer coating that provides a cleanable surface and reduced microbial touch transfer. The articles may be flat or tubular. The articles are formed from a polymer composition containing one or more extractable components. The barrier polymer coating is a transparent vapor-deposited coating of a barrier polymer derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The vapor-deposited polymer coating barrier reduces the extraction of extractable component(s) from the tube. The coating also provides a reduction in microorganism touch transfer of at least 20% and provides increased wet out of a cleaning solvent compared to an identical tube without the transparent vapor-deposited coating.
