Plasma Surface Activation Applications
Medical
Plasma Treatment for Medical Devices and Materials
Improve the bond strength of medical device components or coatings, increase the longevity and adhesion of medical ink, and fine clean of surfaces to remove dust and surface contaminates with APJeT’s Plasma Systems.
APJeT’s Plasma Systems integrate easily into existing lines and operate at low temperatures, preventing operator burns and melting of substrates during line stops.
Medical Applications
Plasma Treatment for Medical Devices and Materials
Plasma surface activation increases the surface energy of plastic materials frequently used in the medical industry. This increases the bond strength with adhesives & coatings and allows for the durable printing of ink and labels.
Applications / Products
- Membranes
- Syringes
- Petri Dishes
- Glass Vials
- Catheters
- Blood Filters
- Medical Device Biocompatibility
- Lenses
- Needle Hubs
- Ostomy bags
- Culture Tissue
- Ink and Labels
Medical Devices & Materials
Plasma Treatment for Medical Devices and Materials
Plasma surface activation increases the surface energy of medical plastics, improving wettability and increasing the bond strength with coatings and adhesive. Ink adhesion can be improved and the use of solvents for cleaning can often be eliminated.
