The Benefits of Electrosurgical Blade Coatings
Precision and efficiency are critical in electrosurgical procedures. SSG’s FluoroBond® N, MediSlick™ N2/N2A and MediSlick™ N3 are micron-thin, low friction coatings for smooth cutting surfaces. ElectroBond® and FluoroBond® N/N2/N3 non-stick electrosurgical blade coatings enhance surgical performance by reducing eschar buildup, improving conductivity, reducing friction and/or providing insulating properties. All SSG coatings are biocompatible, PFOA-Free and PFOS-Free, and MediSlick™ N2/N2A and MediSlick™ N3 are PFAS-Free.
Reduced Eschar Buildup & Improved Surgical Flow
During electrosurgery, high-frequency AC energy cuts and coagulates tissue, often leading to the accumulation of carbonized tissue (eschar) on stainless steel blades. SSG’s ElectroBond® electrosurgical medical blade coatings minimize eschar adhesion, allowing surgeons to work more efficiently without unnecessary interruptions.
Enhanced Blade Durability & Performance
Our PFAS-Free ElectroBond® insulative electrosurgical blade coating outperforms PTFE by resisting damage and maintaining excellent non-stick properties at operating temperatures ranging up to 840°F. Its extremely hard surface (4H pencil hardness) is the most physically durable and damage resistant coating available. You get long-lasting electrosurgical performance and effective insulation and conduction.
Increased Safety & Lower Risk of Contamination
Low friction, non-stick and insulating electrosurgical blade coatings help maintain precise energy delivery, reducing the risk of unintended burns or excessive thermal spread. ElectroBond® can also be developed with antimicrobial properties.
Versatile Design Capabilities
ElectroBond® electrosurgical blade, jaw, forceps and tip coatings support various probe designs, including ball, wire, gripper, and needle types, for bipolar and monopolar device applications.
FluoroBond® N, MediSlick™ N2/N2A and MediSlick™ N3 coatings are micron-thin, thermally bonded films that offer excellent low friction, release and durability. These solvent and chemical resistant coatings have an operating temperature up to 500°F and are optically clear on smooth surfaces. Surgical cuts are made smoother, faster and with less force and friction, improving surgical procedures and patient comfort.
With SSG’s decades of expertise in applying surgical coatings, you can be assured that each of your product or component is coated with quality, consistency, precision, and regulatory compliance.
