Medical plastic parts
Result
Plasma surface treatment of medical plastics is used to increase the wettability of high performance polymers which can be particularly difficult to print on and bond to due to their inherent low surface energy.
In addition plasma treatments can deliver specific functionalization of surfaces for e.g. protective coatings, barrier layers and to improve bio-molecular absorption. Sinvacon offers a wide range of plasma surface treatments to the medical and life science industries to address these growing demands.
Applications
- Plasma surface activation for better adhesion when gluing balloon catheters
- Plasma treatment of intra ocular lenses, followed by a bio-polymer coating to make the lens more hydrophilic
- Plasma coatings for functionalization of cell cultures
- High purity cleaning of medical implants
