The importance of electropolishing in the medical industry  | Limat | 29.08.08


Metal surface treatments are of great importance in extremely sensitive industries, where sterilization is the top concern, such as the medical industry.

The medical industry has unwavering hygiene and safety standards, which apply to all of its aspects, and especially to tools and components used in surgery and transplants; where the quality of stainless steel cannot be compromised.

The medical and pharmaceutical industries are known for their rigorous demands and need for the optimal finish, which is a critical component in the systems they use. High-quality metal surface treatments reduce the chances of components carrying infectious agents and improve their durability.

These two factors are crucial in keeping any malfunctions to the a minimum, as well as saving long and short-term expenses.  

Applying electropolishing to metal and stainless steel tools and components used in the medical industry, allows the steel to be stripped of any iron, sand, glass and  grease residues; as well as offer a polished finish  which meets the strictest of hygiene standards.
