Durable, Corrosion Resistant and Fluid Repelling
When it comes to your safety-critical medical and dental device components, moisture can present a challenge. Instrument spotting, staining and corrosion are common in healthcare facilities due to autoclave procedures and sterile processing. This will impair instrument function and interfere with future sterilization procedures. With our hydrophobic coatings, you can rest assured that instrument function will be maintained.
Our hydrophobic STERIChrome™ coating, certified to ISO 10993 gives you:
- Maximum repellent against blood, urine, saliva and other bio-fluids.
- Increased self-cleaning, antifouling and anti-corrosion properties
- Reduced risk of contamination and patient infection
- Long lasting and improved durability
- Combat & control over degradation
When you trust in STERIChrome™ by Greystone Medical, you gain:
- Strength: 72-80+HRC surface hardness significantly improves instrument wear and abrasion resistance to eliminate galling and fretting
- Resilience: Maximizes blade integrity to maintain cutting edges throughout operations
- Protection: Prevents corrosion as a result of sterile processing and laser marking
- Zero debris: Arrests metallic debris and particulate matter during operation
- Reduced glare: satin platinum finish gives instruments that long-lasting platinum and chrome color and reduces high intensity light reflection.
