Medical Sensor Encapsulation for Reliable Devices

Medical Sensor Encapsulation for Reliable Devices

A sensor that performs precisely on the laboratory bench can fail quickly once it encounters saline solution, condensation, body fluids, sterilisation cycles or long-term implantation conditions. Medical sensor encapsulation is therefore not a finishing operation...
Coating Automation for Controlled Production

Coating Automation for Controlled Production

A manually operated coating process can produce excellent individual parts. The limitation becomes visible when production volumes rise, product variants multiply or every batch must be documented for an audit. Coating automation addresses this gap by converting...
Medical Coating Standards for Device Reliability

Medical Coating Standards for Device Reliability

A coating defect measured in microns can determine whether a medical device remains electrically insulated, resists corrosion after sterilisation, or creates an avoidable patient risk. Medical coating standards therefore cannot be treated as a final inspection...
Coating Thickness Measurement Guide for Thin Films

Coating Thickness Measurement Guide for Thin Films

A coating specified at 10 µm is not necessarily a coating delivering 10 µm of protection. On a sharp edge, inside a bore or across a complex assembled component, the local layer thickness may differ significantly from the nominal process value. For regulated and...
Magnetron Sputtering Versus Evaporation

Magnetron Sputtering Versus Evaporation

A coating can meet its nominal thickness specification and still fail its function. Pinholes in a barrier layer, insufficient adhesion on stainless steel, excessive stress in a conductive film or poor coverage around a component edge often originate in the deposition...
