Medthin™ coatings for medical applications

The new generation of biocompatible Medthin™ coatings are used on a wide variety of medical implants and medical device coatings.

The thin-film Medthin™ coatings were designed with medical applications in mind, at the Ionbond medical competence center in Switzerland. These biocompatible coatings are designed to increase product lifetime and reduce adverse patient reactions.

Advantages of Medthin™ coatings

Medthin™ coatings have excellent properties.

High adhesion to substrates such as titanium, CoCrMo and stainless steel grades

High resistance to mechanical and chemical degradation

High hardness and scratch resistance for instruments and tools

Low friction and wear on instruments and tools

Substantial reduction of nickel or cobalt ion release

Reduction of bacterial proliferation

Certified medical coating services

The Ionbond coating service centers that provide Medthin™ coatings in Europe, North America and Asia are ISO 13485-certified and employ validated systems for coating and coating processes. Full product traceability and 100% batch integrity are consequential quality attributes. Medthin™ coatings have been tested for biocompatibility according to the ISO 10993-1 standard by independent, certified laboratories. They are approved for use with external and internal medical devices that come into contact with bone, skin, tissue or blood. For specific applications, we can provide wear simulator reports and other application-relevant tests. Some Medthin™ coatings have US FDA Master Files (MAF) that our customers can reference for clearance of Medthin™ coated medical devices in USA.
