Surgical Coatings specializes exclusively in precision coating application services for surgical instruments and medical devices. Since 1995, we have focused on applying high-performance polymer coatings for demanding medical applications where consistency, precision, and quality are critical.

We coat a wide range of medical devices and surgical instruments, including electrosurgical instruments, robotic surgery components, endoscopic instruments, orthopedic devices, and minimally invasive surgical devices.

As an engineering-first company, we enjoy solving complex coating challenges. If you are unsure whether your application is a fit, our team would be happy to review your device requirements and discuss potential coating solutions.

No. Surgical Coatings is a coating application specialist. We work with a wide range of coating suppliers to explore various coating chemistries and help OEMs determine the right coating system, application process, and manufacturing approach for their devices.

No. Due to our position in the medical device supply chain, Surgical Coatings does not coat or re-coat instruments owned by hospitals or devices intended for direct surgical use after leaving our facility.

The OEMs we partner with manage regulatory testing, validation, and clearance for coated devices as part of a manufacturing process. Because of this, we focus exclusively on high-volume OEM projects where coatings are integrated as part of a validated manufacturing process.

If you are working with an OEM pursuing a validated coating process, we’d be happy to discuss the application further.

● Polyaryletherketones

Functions:

● Abrasion, galling, skiving, and scratch resistance
● Electrosurgical RF energy isolation or insulation
● Interglare reduction
● Non-stick & anti-fouling
● Thermal isolation


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

Surgical Coatings specializes in electrostatic powder coating and liquid spray coating processes for medical devices and surgical instruments. The appropriate method depends on the coating material, device geometry, coating thickness, performance requirements, and production needs.

Virtual Masking™ is Surgical Coatings’ proprietary technology for creating clean, precise coating-free areas. The process eliminates manual masking, overspray, and the risk of unwanted foreign material in the coating. With up to ±0.0002 inch precision, Virtual Masking™ enables tight-tolerance coating-free areas and repeatable results.

Yes. We regularly work with OEM engineering teams during development to evaluate coating candidates, optimize manufacturability, and establish scalable coating processes early in the design cycle.

Yes. We can support prototype coating lots, feasibility studies, and process development projects prior to full-scale production.

Yes. Our automated coating infrastructure is designed for scalable, high-volume production while maintaining tight process control and repeatability.

Yes. We routinely apply coatings to complex medical device geometries, including tight tolerance features and precise coating areas.

We utilize automated coating systems, in-process thickness measurement, SPC monitoring, and multiple inspection checkpoints throughout production. These systems help maintain repeatability, tight tolerances, and consistent coating performance across high volumes at production scale.

Our quality inspection and testing processes are custom-tailored to each device’s use profile. Depending on the application requirements, our quality processes may include:

● In-process coating thickness measurement
● SPC tracking and process monitoring
● Visual inspection
● Hipot testing for electrical insulation applications

Yes. Surgical Coatings exclusively serves the medical device industry, and our processes are specifically designed around the precision, traceability, and consistency requirements of medical device manufacturing.

Yes. We work closely with OEM quality and engineering teams to support coating process validation and manufacturing qualification.

Surgical Coatings is located in Littleton, Colorado, USA.

Yes. Surgical Coatings works with medical device manufacturers throughout the United States and internationally.

Early involvement is highly recommended. Collaborating during development helps identify coating considerations sooner, reduce redesign risk, and improve scalability into production.
