We offer a number of additional services to complement the wide range of products and custom-made solutions we can provide to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the medical field.
Additional services for medical implants and instruments include passivation and surface finishing.
We also offer a number of laboratory and other services that are outlined below.
/ Passivation
Iron in the material and iron contamination created during fabrication is subject to rust and corrosion.
This surface iron is removed during passivation, resulting in a less chemically reactive surface.
Lincotek Medical also offering Citric and Nitric Passivation as per ASTM A967.
/ Surface finishing
The following finishing processes are available: sandblasting; tumbling; lapping, grinding; laser marking; and welding.
In addition, chrome coating and epoxy resin color coding is available for medical implants.
/ Laboratory services
Our laboratories are under the Company quality certification (ISO 13485).
We provide the following type of characterization testing:
To assist, qualify and validate the process of cleaning, packaging and sterilization
Coating characterization – mechanical, chemical, and physical testing including methods such as tensile testing, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FITR) spectroscopy
Powder analysis (e.g., granulometry, morphology, porosity, and crystallinity)
/ Other services
We can also offer you the following additional services:
Batch number identification by laser marking for metallic medical devices
Engraving ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) components
Passivation for coated or treated medical devices
Shot-peening and surface sandblasting with automatic validated processes
Validated cleaning technologies for titanium- and HAP-coated implants
Validation of ᵧ-ray ethylene oxide (ETO) sterilization
These treatments are performed with extremely low impurity levels.
Contaminants are negligible as required for medical applications.
