Medical Device Manufacturing

The medical device manufacturing industry has many uses for Airbrasive^®. The key advantage with Airbrasive^® is the ability to selectively remove material without affecting the shape or form of the device. Here are some specific applications:

• Deburring of syringes, vascular stents, and cannulae
• On Stents, removal of oxidation that forms during production
• Removal of coatings on catheters
• Removal of slag from implantable parts
• Preparation / texturing of surfaces to improve bonding
• Cleaning and texturing of mold cavities
• Deburring threads on cannulated bone screws
• Using a microscope, deburring the inside of rectangular cavities in bone screws.
• Removing conformal coatings on circuit boards and selective removal of insulation on conductors used in medical electronics
