Small microburrs, fissures, cracks, and other defects left behind by machining on the surface of metal parts create an environment susceptible to bacterial and viral growth.
Electropolishing's ability to remove a microscopically precise surface layer with absolute consistency leaves critical metal parts with an ultraclean and ultrasmooth surface that inhibits the growth of pathogens and makes reusable devices easier to clean, without burrs, microcracks and other surface imperfections that can trap liquids and debris and give harmful bacteria a place to hide.
In fact, electropolishing is so effective at optimizing the surface of medical devices and parts that we are often consulted for help in the prototyping phase to ensure that features are designed in ways that make electropolishing even more effective and avoid common design flaws.
Download our technical guide and discover how electropolishing can enhance corrosion resistence and improve microfinish in medical device industry applications, including implants, cutting instruments, drills, blades, surgical instruments, and disposable devices.
Whether you are an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), a part manufacturer or a metal working shop looking to solve these common surface problems, it's critical to find a solution to adequately address these issues in a cost-effective method.
Small microburrs, fissures, cracks, and other defects left behind by machining on the surface of metal parts create an environment susceptible to bacterial and viral growth. Without a defect-free, ultraclean finish, metal instruments, medical implants, and other devices pose a risk to patient health and safety.
