 The Medical industry has seen a great deal of innovation. The advances in device miniaturization, DNA research, and Microfluidics have progressed rapidly with the help of plasma treatment in the manufacturing process. The process of plasma activation in device manufacturing continues to support the use of materials that would not previously be feasible choices. The advances in bonding microfluidic materials used to create medical diagnostic devices continues to provide increases in pressure and the use of materials that were not possible in the past.

 

Why Use Plasma Technology in the Medical Field?

Medical Devices

 Plasma offers a wide variety of coatings and treatments, from cleaning and sterilization of tools and surfaces to coatings that improve biocompatibility in implants. Plasma is a safe, environmentally friendly, cost-efficient alternative for the industry that is consistent and reliable.

Coatings in The Field

Liquid Beads on Hydrophobic Surface

 From Hydrophilic coatings that improve wettability, and hydrophobic coatings that reduce contamination. Plasma coatings can be found in use across the industry in urological, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic instruments, guidewires, balloons, and catheters. These coatings can be used to improve biocompatibility, reduce infection rates, and create ease of use for both patients and medical professionals.  

Cleaning and Sterilization

Antimicrobial Surface

 Plasma cleaning cleans and sterilizes at a molecular level, ensuring a surface or tool is ready for surgery or implantation. Reducing other treatments that may need high temperatures, toxic chemicals, or irradiation, that may result in damage to the surface, tool, or environment. This makes plasma cleaning one of the safest, environmentally friendly, and most cost-effective treatments.
