A variety of FluoroMed®, GlideMed®, FluoroBond®, MediSlick™ and other low friction PTFE, PTFE-Free and PFAS-Free coatings are applied to needles at Surface Solutions Group. The specific coating solution is based on the needle use requirements. If the needle requires low insertion force or low-friction properties, then we may sample one of our FluoroBond® coatings along with our MediSlick™, FluoroMed® or GlideMed® coatings.
If the application is on an EMG needle and requires electrical insulating properties, we offer our ElectroBond®, FluoroMed®, or GlideMed® coatings, depending on the coating thickness requirements. All of these medical device needle coatings are biocompatible and are in use throughout the medical device industry.
Applied coating properties include:
- Low friction properties
- Low or high temperature application and cure temperatures
- Coating thickness from .00001” to 0.002” depending on the coating
- Areas can be marked for identification purposes or the tip of the needle masked to allow for stimulation
- Excellent adhesion properties with any of our coatings
- Inert coatings and gamma stable
- Will not anneal or affect temper of a cutting edge
