</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s stockholders approved the Plan on February&nbsp;8, 2010. The Company&#146;s authority to
grant new awards under the Prior Plan terminated upon stockholder approval of the Plan. The Plan
provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock not previously covered by a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the &#147;New Shares&#148;) and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
an amount equal to the number of shares represented by any stock option or restricted stock award
that is forfeited or terminates without vesting, or any stock option that terminates, expires or
lapses without being exercised, under the Prior Plan; provided, however, that shares of Common
Stock tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to pay tax withholding on
an award under the Prior Plan will not be added back to the Shares available under the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this Registration Statement is to register the New Shares and to carry forward
to this Registration Statement the Carryover Shares. The Carryover Shares were previously
registered under the Prior Plan on a Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April&nbsp;2, 2003 (Registration Statement 333-104258) and March&nbsp;23, 2005
(Registration Statement 333-123521). The registration fee for the registration of the Carryover
Shares was paid in connection with the filing of the foregoing Registration Statements.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is subject to Minnesota Statutes Chapter&nbsp;302A, the Minnesota Business Corporation
Act (the &#147;Corporation Act&#148;). Section&nbsp;302A.521 of the Corporation Act provides in substance that,
unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an
officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the
former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including,
without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit
plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and disbursements, incurred
by such person in connection with the proceeding, if certain criteria are met. These criteria, all
of which must be met by the person seeking indemnification, are (a)&nbsp;that such person has not been
indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties,
fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an
employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees and
disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same
acts or omissions; (b)&nbsp;that such person must have acted in good faith; (c)&nbsp;that no improper
personal benefit was obtained by such person and such person satisfied certain statutory conflicts
of interest provisions, if applicable; (d)&nbsp;that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person
had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and (e)&nbsp;that, in the case of acts
or omissions occurring in such person&#146;s performance in an official capacity, such person must have
acted in a manner such person reasonably believed was in the best interests of the corporation or,
in certain limited circumstances, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In
addition, Section&nbsp;302A.521, subd. 3 requires payment by the Company, upon written request, of
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is made by a majority of the disinterested board of directors present at a meeting
at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of disinterested
directors, by special legal counsel, by the disinterested shareholders, or by a court. The
Company&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws impose no limitations on the applicability of Section
302A.521 of the Corporation Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company also maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Company, its
directors and its officers against certain liabilities.

of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration statement; and

under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section

of an employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such

permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Company's stockholders approved the Plan on February 8, 2010. The Company's authority to
grant new awards under the Prior Plan terminated upon stockholder approval of the Plan. The Plan
provides for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock not previously covered by a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "New Shares") and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in
an amount equal to the number of shares represented by any stock option or restricted stock award
that is forfeited or terminates without vesting, or any stock option that terminates, expires or
lapses without being exercised, under the Prior Plan; provided, however, that shares of Common
Stock tendered or withheld to pay the exercise price of a stock option or to pay tax withholding on
an award under the Prior Plan will not be added back to the Shares available under the Plan.
The purpose of this Registration Statement is to register the New Shares and to carry forward
to this Registration Statement the Carryover Shares. The Carryover Shares were previously
registered under the Prior Plan on a Registration Statement on Form S-8, filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2003 (Registration Statement 333-104258) and March 23, 2005
(Registration Statement 333-123521). The registration fee for the registration of the Carryover
Shares was paid in connection with the filing of the foregoing Registration Statements.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

given to employees as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) under the Securities Act. Such documents need not
be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), either as part of this
Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 under the
Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of Form S-8, taken together, constitute a prospectus that
meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents, which have been filed by SurModics, Inc. (hereinafter the "Company"
or the "Registrant") with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act") are incorporated by reference herein and shall be deemed to be a part
hereof:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2009, filed with the Commission on December 11, 2009, as amended;
(b)
All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) and 15(d)

All other documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a),

prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that indicates
that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. In this Registration Statement,
the Company refers to these documents, and the documents enumerated above, as the "incorporated
documents."

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company is subject to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 302A, the Minnesota Business Corporation
Act (the "Corporation Act"). Section 302A.521 of the Corporation Act provides in substance that,
unless prohibited by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, a corporation must indemnify an
officer or director who is made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the
former or present official capacity of the person against judgments, penalties, fines, including,
without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee benefit
plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred
by such person in connection with the proceeding, if certain criteria are met. These criteria, all
of which must be met by the person seeking indemnification, are (a) that such person has not been
indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for the same judgments, penalties,
fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an
employee benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same
acts or omissions; (b) that such person must have acted in good faith; (c) that no improper
personal benefit was obtained by such person and such person satisfied certain statutory conflicts
of interest provisions, if applicable; (d) that in the case of a criminal proceeding, such person
had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful; and (e) that, in the case of acts
or omissions occurring in such person's performance in an official capacity, such person must have
acted in a manner such person reasonably believed was in the best interests of the corporation or,
in certain limited circumstances, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. In
addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3 requires payment by the Company, upon written request, of
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition in certain instances. A decision as to required
indemnification is made by a majority of the disinterested board of directors present at a meeting
at which a disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of disinterested
directors, by special legal counsel, by the disinterested shareholders, or by a court. The
Company's articles of incorporation or bylaws impose no limitations on the applicability of Section
302A.521 of the Corporation Act.
The Company also maintains a director and officer insurance policy to cover the Company, its
directors and its officers against certain liabilities.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) of this section do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
