Enhancing Medical Device Performance
INCERTEC provides medical passivation, PTFE coating, heat treatment and electroplating services for a variety of medical devices, implantables and instruments. Our medical device partners rely on us for quality work that stands up to the standards of the medical industry, so we tightly control processes to make sure we meet and exceed their high expectations.
Is Medical Device Finishing Safe?
Yes. Electroplating and heat treatment services are commonly used in the medical industry to improve the performance, quality and longevity of medical instruments of all kinds. The finishing processes INCERTEC uses are thoroughly sanitized and designed to adhere to the specifications of the medical industry to ensure safety and performance.
Maintaining High Standards
INCERTEC holds our medical device finishing services to rigorous requirements in order to provide:
- Corrosion Resistance: Because medical products are continuously cleaned and reused, they are vulnerable to corrosion. Metal electroplating and passivation services are meant to increase the lifespan of medical devices and resist corrosion.
- Consistent Accuracy: Braid coatings are applied to medical devices such as catheters to avoid kinking and improve accuracy.
- Biocompatibility: Each coating used for medical devices has to be compliant and allergy-resistant.
- Radiation Resistance: Used for medical devices involved in x-ray procedures, the metal coating must be radiation resistant.
- Reduced Friction: One of the most common coatings used for medical device finishing is PTFE coating. This coating cuts down on friction, allowing for easier cleaning and improved operational efficiency.
