Our Experience

30 Years of Exclusively Coating Medical Devices

For three decades, Surgical Coatings has focused on one thing: precision coating services for medical devices.

This singular focus has allowed us to develop deep expertise in coating technologies used in surgical, electrosurgical, and robotic-assisted devices — applications where coating performance directly impacts safety, reliability, and surgical outcomes.

Every coating we apply is designed to perform in mission-critical environments.

Supporting the Next Generation of Medical Devices

Modern surgical technologies continue to evolve rapidly, particularly in robotic-assisted surgery and advanced energy devices.

Whether applied to minimally invasive tools or complex robotic instruments, coatings must be applied with precision and consistency to meet the specific demands of each device.

Through early-stage collaboration with our customers, we identify coating solutions that address key functional challenges in emerging surgical technologies, including:

Electrical Insulation

Coatings provide reliable RF energy isolation, preventing unintended current flow and ensuring safe device performance.

Visualization Enhancement

Interglare coatings reduce reflections and improve visibility during complex and minimally invasive procedures.

Surface Performance

Non-stick and anti-fouling coatings minimize buildup, reduce drag, and support smoother device operation.

Durability & Thermal Protection

Coatings enhance abrasion resistance while providing thermal isolation to protect devices and surrounding tissue.

Experience with an Extensive Variety of Coatings

Surgical Coatings offers two primary coating application methods, allowing our team to apply a wide range of coating chemistries depending on each device’s specific requirements.

Liquid Coatings

Powder Coatings

Coating Chemistries

Liquid coatings allow for precise thin-film coatings that provide smooth finishes and excellent coverage on complex device geometries.

Liquid coatings are often used for precise coating placement, coverage of intricate geometries, and applications requiring lower curing temperatures, particularly for heat-sensitive substrates.

Powder coatings provide durable, uniform protective layers with excellent adhesion and repeatability.

This method is often selected for applications requiring thicker, more durable coatings with excellent adhesion and enhanced wear resistance.

This represents the majority of the materials we work with, but our team’s extensive application experience allows us to quickly evaluate and support additional chemistries as needed.

Engineering First

At Surgical Coatings, we consider ourselves an engineering-first company.

Our team works directly with OEM design engineers to evaluate coating candidates early in the development process — ensuring that the selected material, thickness, and application method will meet both performance and manufacturing requirements.

Our goal is simple: Develop the ideal coating process for your device and scale it to production with precision and consistency.

Developing a coating application process begins with understanding your device’s requirements.
