Home Coatings for the medical sector

biocompatible platin'® medi coatings

A wide range of biocompatible, medical-certified coatings.

The PLATIN'® MEDI range, specifically developed for medical devices, includes coatings that meet the sector's requirements, particularly in terms of biocompatibility.

PLATIN'® MEDI BETA, PLATIN'® MEDI ZrN, Pink Titanium and THERMI®-DLC coatings are widely used in the medical field. Their distinctive color also enables these coatings to be used to differentiate applications (color code yellow, pink, anthracite gray...).

    Features and benefits of platin® medi coatings

    All our coatings have been tested by an independent, COFRAC-certified laboratory.

    BIOCOMPATIBILITY

    All coatings in our PLATIN® MEDI range are certified biocompatible to ISO 10993 for areas of skin, mucous membranes, lesions, tissue and bone, blood, blood circulation and indirect passage through the bloodstream.

    What's more, our coatings limit tartar formation for dental applications.

    wear resistance

    Our coatings improve the wear resistance of your tools and implants against corrosion and friction.

    color

    Our colour-coded coatings and depth gauges allow you to differentiate your tools. For implants, they also allow you to match the color of flesh for a more natural look for the patient.

    How are your medical devices treated?

    01

    Understanding your specifications

    Depending on the use and environment of the medical device, and its expected final characteristics, we propose the most suitable biocompatible coating.

    02

    Process validation

    For each medical device, we build a complete and specific file based on your specifications.

    We use the Qi Qo Qp validation methodology to anticipate and control risks.

    03

    Implementation in a controlled environment

    Parts and components are prepared and cleaned beforehand to avoid pollution.

    Biocompatible coating is carried out in special vacuum chambers. Deposition parameters are strictly monitored to ensure process repeatability.

    04

    Quality control

    Thanks to quality recordings at every stage of the cycle, we can guarantee traceability of your medical devices and good process repeatability for each batch.

    Various quality controls are carried out on controls placed in the oven enclosure.

      For study and order

      Information to be communicated :

      - Steel grade (standardized designation preferred) or other (carbide, aluminum, titanium, etc.)

      - Previous treatments.

      - Functional parts, geometric tolerances to be respected

      - Hardness tolerances.

      - Thickness required

      - Part layout, weight, number of parts per shipment and per year.

      Our FAQs

      What is vacuum deposition?

      Vacuum deposition is a surface treatment used to deposit a material or alloy on a mechanical part.

      The use of vacuum technology ensures a perfectly clean, non-polluting process.

      It is not subject to REACH legislation.

      Which sites are certified for the medical sector?

      The Thermilyon group's sites certified for the medical markets are THERMI-PLATIN and THERMI-BUGEY.

      How do I choose the right deposit method?

      The deposition method depends above all on the nature of the coating to be deposited and the substrate.

      If the substrate cannot be heated to high temperature, the deposition must be carried out using low-temperature technology.

      If the coating to be deposited consists of a solid element (metal or graphite target), a physical process such as PVD is used. If the coating consists of a gas or liquid, a chemical process such as CVD or PACVD is used.

      What do I need to know when consulting a customer or placing an order for vacuum deposits?

      Nature of steel or carbide, if steel treated, please specify the treatments carried out. Desired characteristics (hardness), quantities of parts per shipment and per year, drawings of the part and specifications. If possible, how the part will be used and its final purpose.
