cost efficiency

Cost Efficiency

Was achieved by decreasing production downtime and maintenance associated with high-end medical mechanical ventilators.

Increase Production

Increased Reliability

The higher the quality of the materials used, the more likely it is that the device or equipment will work correctly for a longer period of time, therefore increasing product reliability.

downtime

Minimal Downtime

Was achieved by decreasing the costly maintenance associated with mechanical ventilator devices and minimizing equipment downtime.

Problem:

One of the world’s leading space exploration companies required a high-performance, multi-purpose grease that met ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards. The grease needed to function across multiple O-ring sealing applications and act as a galvanic barrier for stainless steel screws to prevent corrosion.

TriboSys delivered a reliable solution that not only meets these stringent technical requirements but also helps reduce overall maintenance costs in both critical and non-critical applications by extending service intervals and improving long-term equipment performance.

Solution:

Customers typically see a significant reduction in component wear and extended service life for O-rings and other rubber components. All TriboSys variants help lower overall maintenance costs in both critical and non-critical medical applications by prolonging service cycles. Additionally, these ISO 10993 biocompatible lubricants withstand all standard hospital sterilization processes without causing galvanic corrosion or material degradation, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance.

Result:

Testing confirmed that TriboSys MS-3270MD grease delivers unmatched performance and is now the specified lubricant for NASA’s VITAL ventilator product line. Engineered specifically for today’s medical industry, TriboSys™ offers a biocompatible line of lubricants that provides superior protection, thermal stability, and durability compared to competitor products.

These lubricants ensure the highest levels of reliability and safety in critical medical applications, helping protect patients while reducing overall maintenance costs.

Key Features:

  • Biocompatible: ISO 10993 certified

  • Chemically inert: Non-nutrient, no migration

  • Non-flammable and oxygen-safe

  • Odorless and non-staining
