Discovering the Value of Surface Treatments and Coatings for Medtech

Medical device manufacturers (MDMs) have long been interested in improving the performance of their medical device substrates through the use of engineered coatings, especially as components become smaller and more complex, with enhanced functionality. As the number of elective diagnostic and surgical procedures approach pre-COVID-19 levels, MDMs are again eager to utilize both standard and specialized coatings and application technologies to increase the functionality, performance, and lifespan of their medical devices.

Surface treatments in the medical device industry are showing substantial growth through innovation—especially in the electrosurgery and minimally invasive surgery fields, which typically require specialized surface properties for easy insertion, navigation, and trackability. In fact, unique surface coatings and treatments are generating as mu
