Medical instruments and gadgets that require dielectric insulation can benefit from thermal spray technology coatings.
Fremont, CA: It seems to sense that medical equipment must be corrosion-resistant. Because of this, medical coatings have become a crucial component of several applications in the medical business. Additional study is being done about the use of medical coatings in solutions for the spine, finger, elbow, shoulder, and knee joints, as well as acetabular caps and femoral stems, even though they are already widely employed in the medical business. And even that hardly scratches the surface.
Medical coatings currently employ both warm and cold spray methods. Medical instruments and gadgets that require dielectric insulation can benefit from thermal spray technology coatings. These coatings provide a wide range of advantages and benefits.
What are some applications for medical coatings?
Protective coatings can be applied to medical equipment to accomplish a wide range of tasks. For example, medical coatings made of electrically dielectric aluminum oxide compounds can provide EMI/RFI shielding to prevent interference with sensitive equipment. These coatings can also be helpful in restoring structural elements like the framework that would be expensive or challenging to replace otherwise.
Prosthetics are covered in the medical coating
Although further research is needed, it is gets believed that medical coatings applied to implants would promote bone formation in addition to helping the body accept them. This application's specific components will be helpful, including calcium carbonate, porous titanium, and HAP (hydroxyapatite). Despite the strict tolerances and particular requirements needed, it is simple to repeat these coating procedures accurately and repeatedly.
Properties that promote healing have been attained by covering the surfaces of prosthetic devices with a protective medical coating. As a result, everything from dental implants to orthopedic prostheses now has a medical covering. These applications employ thermal spray techniques. HVOF and the plasma spray method are two of them (High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel).
