We provide the medical device industry with a complete suite of post-fabrication services including
Key Benefits
We offer a wide range of surface treatments to improve the friction characteristics of elastomer seals within production processes along with a host of other benefits. Combining 30 years of experience in coating of elastomer seals with research studies and the latest technologies, our surface treatments are tailored to individual manufacturing requirements and the properties of the sealing materials.
FF Coating
FF coating is the ideal surface treatment for hygienic processing environments. This is compliant to FDA and other standards, is water-based, solvent free and transparent. The coating is suitable for all kinds of elastomer seals depending on their shape and size and does not affect the seal’s natural elasticity. Its reduced friction makes it ideal in automated assembly processes. Suited for both static and low-level dynamic applications, with infrequent movement and short stroke rate, it retains its properties in repeated insertion and dismantling processes.
At Trelleborg Healthcare & Medical, we provide added value to our customers by offering an extensive range of secondary operations including post curing, printing, die cutting, drilling, tipping, bonding, slitting, trimming, coiling, and functional testing.
Our device assembly expertise is as varied as the requirements of our customers; projects have ranged from routine sub-assemblies involving silicone, metal, plastic, and ceramic components to the assembly of shunts formed from porcine-derived polymer to the complete manufacture of fully functional neurological implants.
