    Cadence coating systems deposit functional coatings that improve medical device hardness, reduce friction, increase heat and wear resistance, and increase product life. Cadence systems are compact, fast, and easy for smaller manufacturing operations to use and maintain. These systems are part of Vapor Technologies’ full line of VaporTech physical vapor deposition and diamond-like carbon equipment. Image courtesy of Vapor Technologies Inc.

    As the demand increases for complex medical devices, especially for implants and minimally invasive and robotic surgical procedures, there is also an increased demand for high-performance, biocompatible specialty coatings that meet the clinical, engineering, and operational (cost, quality, delivery) requirements for these devices.

    Medical coatings range from lubrications to antimicrobials to water-repellent polymers and can be customized to the type of device or application to improve patient outcomes. They can also improve the effectiveness of these devices and extend their usable life. Antimicrobial, hydrophilic, fluoropolymer, and anodic coatings are some of the most popular. Medical device manufacturers (MDMs) are also using physical vapor deposition (PVD) to create durable, functional coatings for surgical instruments, knee replacements, dental implants, and other specialty items.

    Regardless of the type of coating required, surface preparation is always required for creating a strong bond with the substrate (features can be as small as 20-50 nm). Manufacturers continue to develop more comprehensive specifications and new proce
