Electropolishing

A critical component of the finishing process within the medical device industry, electropolishing uses an electrochemical reaction to remove a thin layer of material from a metal surface, resulting in a smooth, shiny finish.

In application, electropolishing is used on components such as surgical instruments, implants and catheter parts, helping minimise surface roughness and reducing the risk of bacterial buildup.

Medical devices can be made more corrosion resistant, with improvement in durability and able to withstand repeated sterilisation processes.

Our Capabilities

Market demands often influence the scope of our service offerings and strategic investments in technology. Increasing client requests for improved quality surface finishes, specifically on a variety of stainless steel, compelled Lisnabrin Engineering to invest in electropolishing equipment and chemicals to meet that demand.

We have the capacity to electropolish 300 Series SS, 17-4SS and 440C SS. The range of capabilities for this technology include:

Smooth surface finish

Removes burrs and imperfections, providing ultra-smooth surfaces for medical tools and implants.

Corrosion Resistant

Enhances resistance to bodily fluids and sterilisation, extending device lifespan.

Biocompatibility

Reduces surface roughness, lowering bacterial adhesion and improving ease of sterilisation.

Improved Fatigue Life

Eliminates micro defects, extending the durability and crack resistance of components like implants.

Dimensional Precision

Maintains tight tolerances with minimal material removal, ensuring accuracy.

Chemical Passivation

Increases oxidation resistance, adding a protective oxide layer.

Regulatory Compliance

Supports FDA and ISO standards, ensuring clean, biocompatible surfaces.

Sterilisation Compatibility

Surfaces withstand repeated sterilisation without degradation.
