Polish Medical Machinery at the Microscopic Level with Extrude Hone AFM

When it comes to medical machinery, you can’t be too careful. Avoiding infections is extremely important in surgery and many other essential medical procedures, and it’s not as simple as disinfecting machinery on a regular basis. You need to make sure your medical machinery is squeaky clean for each and every application to ensure the health and safety of patients.

But how can you accomplish this? Send your components to Extrude Hone AFM for to go through our patented polishing and surface finishing process. The AFM process is extremely precise so it’s the perfect solution for sensitive medical components that need to be treated with absolute care. The AFM process was initially created for components in the aerospace and manufacturing industries, but it lends itself so well to applications in the medical industry, too.

The AFM process and the medical industry

Each application of the AFM process is customized to achieve exact results. In each application, the surface of a metal component is polished and deburred all the way down to the microscopic level. The 2 main benefit of using AFM to finish medical machinery components are:

  • During surgery, a smooth introduction into the body is highly prized. As a result of going through the Extrude Hone AFM process, your components will be effectively deburred and radiused on all sharp edges, resulting in a smoother, less destructive introduction into the human body. Without the Extrude Hone AFM process, tissues could otherwise be damaged during surgery.
  • Make sure your metal components are absolutely clean, down to the microscopic level, with the AFM process. Our patented process improves surfaces by polishing. Your metal components will resist bacterial contamination because surface negatives will be eliminated.

What dimensional tolerances can Extrude Hone AFM hold?

Extrude Hone AFM can hold tolerances within 1- ten-thousands of an inch (.00001). For a little perspective, a human hair is approximately 3-4 thousands of an inch in diameter (.003-.004). So we can hold some 30-40 graduations of the tolerances of that.
