About Our Medical Device Polymers Treatment Solutions

Surfx Technologies supports manufacturers and engineers with products that take the guesswork out of medical device polymer treatment. Rely on automated plasma machines for your in-line surface cleaning, activation and adhesion.

Using plasma generated at atmospheric pressure, professionals in the medical manufacturing sector can increase the rate of surface treatment, follow through with custom requests, and provide additional uptime for their facility.

Surface treatment for medical devices, such as stents and catheters, is highly recommended for creating tools and technology for medical patients. Argon gas plasma activation and cleaning procedures allow medical products to be made with a reduced risk of organic contaminants interfering with product quality.

Surfx Technologies provides products that integrate within the most complex manufacturing environments. Our solutions for the medical manufacturing industry aim to assist teams in producing items with an increased life span, yield, and quality.

How Plasma Activation and Cleaning Works

With Surfx Technologies equipment inside a medical manufacturing facility, industry professionals can incorporate argon plasma into the activation and cleaning process. Argon plasma is known to enhance medical device wettability, which translates to fewer scrapped products and better performance of medical adhesives and coatings.

Whether performing medical implant cleaning responsibilities or overseeing production as a whole, Surfx Technologies’ unique product designs allow for:

  • Manufacturing process control: Surfx Technologies offerings high quality plasma cleaning without a vacuum. The absence of a vacuum means teams have the flexibility to process medical devices in a continuous line for maximum productivity.
  • Variable chemistry: Our plasma is appropriate for surface cleaning and preparation on multiple materials. Exposing our argon plasma to gases like oxygen or hydrogen makes it easier to clean medical device surfaces without inflicting damage.
  • Opportunity for savings: Surfx Technologies takes an innovative and efficient approach to plasma activation and cleaning technology. By implementing Surfx systems, customers can reduce tool downtime, reduce material scrap, and reduce amount of coating required.

The Surfx Technologies Difference

Our products offer engineers and manufacturers in the medical sector a chance to treat medical devices using argon gas — a gas supply that is abundant in the atmosphere. Before Surfx Technologies stepped into the industry, experts in the space had no choice but to depend on vacuum and open-air plasma for projects. Both of these methods leave room for error and inconsistencies, especially when handling sensitive components and chips.

Surfx Technologies’ plasma solutions can be used without a chamber. Our atmospheric plasma is weakly ionized, which means our solutions are appropriate for everything from implant cleaning and polymer treatments to manufacturing microelectronics. Count on us for cleaning and activation solutions suitable for metals, glass and ceramics.
