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.
Our team will work with you to understand your project and recommend the best PTFE-free and PTFE needle coating based on your needle design and performance requirements. This includes low friction coatings for medical applications where insertion force, durability, and adhesion matter.
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 SSG’s medical device needle coatings are biocompatible and are widely used throughout the medical device industry. These options include PTFE-free and PTFE coating solutions designed to support performance and safety requirements for medical needles.
Learn about our PTFE-free and PTFE coating options and which needle coatings would best fit your specific device requirements.
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
