See how advanced coatings and laser ablation come together to add value to devices
What’s happening on the surface matters just as much as what’s underneath it. Many medical devices require optimal surface performance that only customizing coatings can offer, providing electrical insulation, chemical resistance, or lubricity.
When joined with our advanced wire processing and Laser ablation, Fort Wayne Metals delivers greater process control, quality oversight, and consistency from development through production. We provide dielectric and lubricious coatings tailored to your application’s functional needs, using extrusion and liquid enamel processes across our full portfolio of alloys.
Advanced coating solutions provide:
- Electrical insulation and dielectric performance
- Biocompatibility and chemical resistance
- Flexibility and controlled lubricity
- Corrosion resistance
Coatings are applied to:
- Precision wire
- Strands and cables
- DFT® wire
- HHS® tube
Oftentimes, laser ablation is paired with our coating services to support complex devices that require both insulation and precise conductive zones from select locations on a wire.
Laser ablation enables:
- Selective removal of coating
- Clean exposure of the underlying wire
- Insulation and precise conductive zones
These value-added capabilities support critical applications, including cardiac rhythm management devices, guidewire cores, catheter stylets, mandrels, and neurostimulation devices.
Watch this webinar clip, Coating & Ablation Solutions, to explore our coating capabilities and how we can support your project from the inside out and from start to finish.
