Medical Wire Coatings
Miller-Stephenson offers a low-temperature variant of their next generation, acid-primer free (Non-Cr(VI)) medical coating for coating encapsulation of temperature sensitives substrates like Nickel-Titanium Alloys, Polyamide, etc. These nitinol wire coatings are water-based, one coat systems providing the same robust and durable fluoropolymer coating in a higher temperature cure system. Achieving the same performance standards as our 850G-90XX and 850G-102X, this product was designed for the new generation of low temperature metal alloys and/or high temperature plastics.
- Ideal for temperature sensitive alloys
- High Durability, Flexibility and Corrosion resistance
- Unmatched surface adhesion
- Water-based, One-coat formulation
Medical Wire Coatings
Our next generation water-based, Non-Cr(VI) fluoropolymer coating, designed to optimize coating adhesion, durability, and corrosion resistance while minimizing coefficient of friction. Our world-class fluoropolymer chemistry delivers unmatched lubricity and adhesion on all medical guide wires in the ease a one-coat system and a safe non-Cr(VI) system. In practice, medical personnel will feel smooth, low-friction movement as the guidewire progresses through the vasculature. Benefits Include:
- High durability, flexibility and corrosion resistance
- Unmatched surface adhesion
- Waterbased, One-coat formulation
- No Cr(VI); non-acid primer
- Passes all ISO and ASTM guidelines*
Medical Wire Coatings
Miller-Stephenson Medical LLC in unison with Chemours™ has developed a series of water-based, medical coatings which offer next-generation performance, surface adhesion, durability, and superior surface smoothness all while eliminating the use of chromium-VI. Our world-class fluoropolymer chemistry delivers unmatched lubricity and adhesion on all medical guide wires and devices. The 850G-104X not only provides our smoothest surface finish but does so with an average film thickness of only 6-12 microns. In practice, medical personnel will feel smooth, ultra low-friction movement as the guidewire progresses through the vasculature. Benefits Include:
- High durability, flexibility and corrosion resistance
- Ultra-smooth surface finish and very low coefficient of friction
- Substantial safer than Cr(VI) / Acid Primer systems
- Stable to all forms of sterilization
Medical Wire Coatings
Considered the "Gold Standard" coating of our acid primer PTFE medical coatings, our 850G-90XX represents over 40 years of research, development, and refinement yielding a coating which has no recorded instances of delamination or performance defects. Our PTFE medical coatings utilize a proprietary, acid primer system allowing for an extremely low coefficient of friction, high durability and surface adhesion in an efficient One-coat system. Utilization of this acid primer coating system provides a non-flammable and low VOC formula. Benefits include:
- Non-flammable; Low VOC
- High surface adhesion and durability
- Passes all ASTM and ISO regulations
- Fully back integrated raw material manufacturing; 100% lot-to-lot consistent
