Creating the perfect solution for medical devices
Every day, medical and healthcare professionals work to protect the health and lives of their fellow human beings. But when doing so, they need to be able to rely fully on their medical equipment and instruments. High-quality coatings play a key role in ensuring that this requirement is met.
Our innovative technologies are vitally important in preserving the sterility of medical instruments and components for medical systems, helping healthcare professionals comply with the strictest hygiene standards.
Quality in every respect
Modern medical technology sets the highest standards for tribology, durability and biocompatibility, as well as for the degree of purity of coated medical devices. At Aalberts process technologies, we also fulfil highly complex customer requirements and specialize in the functional refinement of components for medical technology systems, and surgical applications.
- because it is easier for dirt to stick to uneven surfaces, the surface structure must be virtually free from pores and extremely smooth.
- soiling can be removed easily and without leaving any residues when the surface possesses non-stick properties.
- extremely hard and scratch-resistant surfaces help maintain the properties for longer.
- efficient corrosion protection increases the longevity of components.
- as medical devices need to be sterilized with corrosive substances, it is imperative that the surface is highly resistant to aggressive chemicals.
- the surface coating must securely adhere to the substrate.
No foreign layers can settle or settle on a gold plated surface. Gold does not adsorb any other layers, which gives a permanently constant electrical transmission resistance. Gold is therefore ideal as a surface for contacts of various sizes and shapes.
Gold surface treatments were used very early in medical technology and they are indispensable in this area.
