POWER OF ATTORNEY

	I, Lisa Wipperman Heine, hereby authorize and designate each of
 Bryan K. Phillips, Douglas P. Long, Nicole J. Leimer, and Amra Hoso signing
 singly, as my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

	(1)	execute for and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer and/or director
of Surmodics, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), the  Forms 4 and 5
in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act  of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

	(2)	do and perform any and all acts for and on my behalf which may be necessary
or desirable to complete and execute any such Forms 4 or 5 and timely file such
form with the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange or similar
authority, and the NASDAQ Stock Market; and

	(3)	take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be to my benefit,
in my best interest, or legally required of me, it being understood that the
statements executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power
of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as
such attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's discretion.

	I hereby further grant to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
 authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
 necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and
 powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as I might or
 could do if personally present, with full power of substitutes or revocation,
 hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
 attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
 granted.  I hereby acknowledge that the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in
 serving in such capacity at my request, are not assuming, nor is the Company
 assuming, any of my responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange
 Act.

	This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until
 I am no longer required to file Forms 4 and 5 with respect to my holdings of
 and transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked
 by me in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such attorney-in-fact hereafter ceases
 to be either a partner or employee of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, or an employee
of the Company, this Power of Attorney shall be automatically revoked solely as
to such individual, immediately upon such cessation, without any further action
on my part.

	I hereby revoke all previous Powers of Attorney that have been
 granted by me in connection with my reporting obligations under Section 16 of
 the Exchange Act with respect to my holdings of and transactions in securities
issued by the Company.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have caused this Power of Attorney to be duly
 executed as of this 14th day of April, 2017.
