EFCLIN 2027

Meet Henniker Plasma at EFCLIN Congress 2027, Dubrovnik

Following a successful EFCLIN 2026, Henniker Plasma is delighted to return to the EFCLIN Congress 2027 in Dubrovnik, Croatia, from 22nd – 24th April 2027. You’ll find us on Booth 36.

This year, we attend as a member of EFCLIN. Membership reflects our long-term commitment to the contact lens and IOL industries, and to working with the manufacturers who shape them.

The annual EFCLIN Congress brings together manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors from across the contact lens and intraocular lens (IOL) industries. The programme covers technological advances, research, European regulation and manufacturing skills. It is the meeting point for the ophthalmic supply chain.

Surface Engineering for Ophthalmic Devices

In ophthalmic manufacturing, surface chemistry decides performance. Lens wettability depends on precise control of surface energy, and IOL delivery depends on low, consistent friction through the injector cartridge. Plasma surface treatment gives manufacturers that control at the nano-scale.

On Booth 36, our team will be discussing:

Plasma activation for lens surfaces: raising surface energy and wettability with a repeatable, solvent-free process
Lubril lubricious coatings: a covalently bonded CoatX® coating for IOL injector cartridges that is hydrophilic when wet. It is applied in a single step instead of an incumbent multi-step process.
Fluorine-free chemistry: CoatX coatings are fluorine-free with no intentionally added PFAS, so they are ready for a tightening regulatory landscape
From development to production: benchtop R&D systems, process development and Contract Plasma Treatment, all from a proven architecture that scales into manufacturing

Whether you are developing next-generation lens materials or optimising IOL delivery systems, the right surface treatment can make the difference. Let’s discuss your application.
