TriboSys™ Medical Biocompatible Lubricants
Miller-Stephenson’s TriboSys™ is a family of greases and oils that are biocompatible under ISO 10993, providing superior lubrication under the most challenging medical applications in comparison to hydrocarbon and silicone alternatives. All variants of TriboSys™ are unaffected by all forms of sterilization and will not transfer or degrade under these conditions. Benefits include:
- Biocompatible (ISO 10993)
- NASA specified TriboSys™ 3270MD for their production of VITAL ventilators
- Chemically Inert; Non-nutrient, and no Migration
- Non-Flammable; Oxygen-safe
- Odorless and Non-Staining
Do not use these lubricants in medical applications involving implantation in the human body or contact with human skin or internal body fluids or tissues.
TriboSys™ Medical Biocompatible Lubricants
Superior Lubrication, 100% Non-nutrient, ISO 10993 Biocompatible Lubricants
Miller-Stephenson’s TriboSys™ oils (MS-31XXMD) and greases (MS-32XXMD) are PFPE (perfluoropolyether) based systems providing the end-user with long-lasting, superior lubrication and 100% biocompatible, ISO 10993 certified thin-film coatings. TriboSys™ biocompatible lubricants are offered in several different viscosity grades to meet your application requirements, with lower viscosity grades ideal for light loads and temperatures and higher viscosity grades ideal for higher temperature and load requirements. Our lubricants offer unmatched friction reduction on metal to metal, metal to plastic, plastic to rubber, and metal to rubber. This is due to TriboSys™ superior film strength, non-migratory surface affinity, and optimized viscosity. Customers typically observe a significant decrease in component wear and significant increases in O-ring and other rubber component service lives. All variants of TriboSys™ are chemically inert, nonhazardous, non-nutrient, and can greatly reduce overall maintenance costs associated with critical and non-critical medical applications by prolonging service cycles. TriboSys™ biocompatible lubricants are also unaffected by all forms of hospital sterilization without oxidation or degradation and additional benefits include:
- Superior lubrication utilizing PFPE based oils and PTFE thickeners
- 100% Nonflammable & Oxygen Safe
- Odorless, Colorless, Non-staining
- Minimal or Zero lubricant migration
- Exceptional thermal stability
- Long-Lasting
TriboSys™ Biocompatible Lubricants Sterilization Stability:
- Gamma or E-Beam Radiation
- Ethylene Oxide (EtO)
- Steam Sterilization
- Liquid Chemical processing stations
- Gas Plasma Sterilization
TriboSys™ Synthetic Biocompatible Fluorinated Lubricants: Medical and Surgical Lubricant
TriboSys™ Biocompatible Lubricants were specifically engineered and tailored for today’s medical industry by offering a biocompatible, chemically inert, and non-nutrient lubrication, that provides the most superior protection and thermal stability for medical applications over hydrocarbon lubricants. TriboSys™ oils and greases are the lubrication of choice for medical facilities and surgical device manufacturers, such as the production of NASA VITAL ventilators using TriboSys™ 3270. These products offer the utmost reliability, safety, and durability with critical medical applications, all while keeping patients safe and reducing overall maintenance cost’s. Miller-Stephenson’s medical oils and greases also have an indefinite shelf life if left unopened and stored in a clean dry location. Unopened containers have shown no change in properties after 20 years or more when stored at ambient temperatures.
