Medical Metal Finishing

Unlike many other industries, the medical industry requires highly regulated parts and products. After all, an end product that’s likely to be used in a doctor's office, ER, or other settings where patient safety and part performance are necessary is critical. And that's why metal finishing is so important in the medical and dental industries. Light Metals Coloring can work with your business to bring new healthcare parts to fruition.

Benefits of Metal Device Coatings

As we said above, products and instruments used in medical and dental fields are under strict regulation from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure they can perform the task as intended while keeping patients safe in the process. Medical device coatings don't just help improve the overall quality, but they can also help enhance product longevity, enhance durability, and make it more sterile to boot. Here’s what benefits our finishing services can provide:

• Increased Durability: Ensures that medical instruments and devices can withstand repeated use and sterilization processes.
• Biocompatibility: The hardness and inertness of hard anodized surfaces make them biocompatible, which is essential for medical implants and surgical instruments
• Aesthetic Improvements: Provides a professional and appealing finish
• Corrosion Resistance: Protectis components from harsh environments

Finishing Services for the Medical Industry 

At Light Metals Coloring, we specialize in one metal finishing technique for medical services: anodizing. Here are some of our anodizing services we provide to medical & dental industries:

Hard Coat Anodize (Type III)

Hard coat enhances the oxide layer on medical and dental components, resulting in better wear resistance and corrosion prevention. This method is suitable for surgical equipment and implants that must be extremely durable and long-lasting, guaranteeing that they work consistently under harsh situations.

Sulfuric Acid Anodize (Type II)

Sulfuric acid creates a strong and protective oxide layer, improving the corrosion resistance and aesthetic appearance of medical devices and dental tools. This method is ideal for components that require a high-quality, durable surface that maintains sterility and integrity over time.
