TriboSys™ | Medical Lubricants Improve End-User Satisfaction
Medical equipment and furniture manufacturer improves end-user satisfaction and increases reliability and durability by using TriboSys™ medical lubricants.
A manufacturer of medical actuating equipment and surgical furniture wanted to utilize a biocompatible, chemically inert lubricant that will keep their surgical furniture and equipment working seamlessly as well as serve as a “Lube for Life”. This request can be met by utilizing TriboSys™ medical lubricants that are PFPE (perfluoropolyether) based, while our greases are fortified and thickened with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene).
The Challenge: To Lubricate “Shims” that assist in the Actuating Mechanism of his Medical Equipment and Furniture
Choosing the correct medical lubrication for this application and having sufficient lubrication applied to the actuating “shims” is critical in the workings of this manufactures equipment. The “shims” are pre-lubricated and then placed within the furniture where they are almost never seen again. These shims can wear down over time and cause unwanted premature equipment failure that can directly affect patient care.
The Solution
TriboSys™ MS-3250MD Grease and Oils are excellent performance lubricants that are chemically inert, nonhazardous and will not migrate. Our oils are PFPE based while our greases are fortified and thickened with PTFE to minimize component wear. It can be utilized for numerous critical and non-critical medical applications and meets biocompatibility standards utilizing ISO 10993 Standards. TriboSys greases and oils are also non flammable and nontoxic. For this medical equipment manufacturer and particular application, TriboSys™ MS-3250MD is considered a “Lube for Life”. Additional TriboSys™ Medical lubricants benefits include:
- 100% non flammable; Oxygen Safe
- Chemically Inert
- Odorless
- Non-staining
- No Migration
