In medical applications, safety and reliability are paramount. ACT offers biocompatible coatings that improve the durability, sterilizability, and functionality of instruments, implants, and surgical tools, without compromising precision or hygiene.

Coating Services

ACT provides AlTiN coating for surgical tools, supported by extensive in-house testing capabilities, including Optical Microscopes, Tribo Meters, Calo Testers, and Fisher’s scope X-ray systems. Our testing process confirms the quality and performance of our coatings on your medical component. ACT can provide coatings in over 40 variations, all customizable for the medical and dental industries.

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is often applied to medical devices, surgical tools, needles, and more. Medical Applications include:

  • Surgical instruments
  • Dental instruments
  • Orthopedic implant applications
  • Orthodontic instruments
  • Pacemakers ( & other Cardiovascular devices/implants)
  • Prosthetic devices for bone/joint implants, etc.

These devices are coated to ensure durability and sterility. When dealing with the human body, safety is ALWAYS our priority. Our team will work with you to solve problems to develop and implement a customized plan that meets your needs. We have scientifically researched vital methods to provide benefits to critical medical components.

ACT has been involved in the development and production of biocompatible PVD, PACVD and ceramic, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC), and metallic thin film coatings for medical use for more than ten years. We are experienced in the use of multiple coatings for medical devices. We have perfected our coating craft from the beginning to end through the use of our experienced team, dedicated scientist, and extensive state of the art equipment.

Our medical PVD coating services, including PVD, DLC, and other advanced options, are applied to a wide range of medical implants and instruments. The coatings are engineered to withstand sterilization procedures and internal body environments.
