Plasma Treatment: Surface Activation of Medical & Biomedical Devices |
|
Plasma treatment systems to improve cell and biomaterial adhesion to clinical diagnostic platforms. Also for pre-treatment prior to gluing of balloon catheters, syringes, valves etc. as well as general plastics
We supply a wide range of plasma treatment equipment tailored to the needs of the medical & biomedical industries. Preparation and modification of medical polymer surfaces by means of low pressure plasma treatment enables you to use an inherently dry & environmentally friendly technique. Plasma treatment significantly improves the surface properties of immuno assays and cell culture media, significantly improving their properties for biomolecular absorption and cell proliferation.


| Plasma Treatment Processes:Plasma activation: balloon catheters prior to gluing catheters/connectors prior to gluing syringes/hubs prior to gluing micro-titre plates to increase cell growth intra ocular lenses prior to biocompatible coatings or to make them hydrophilic
Plasma coating: - permanent hydrophilic coating on teflon tubes
- drug inert coating on inhalation device valves
