Plasma Applications for Life Science and Medical Device Manufacturing

Medical manufacturers build innovative medical products and components using a wide range of materials with properties that are often difficult to balance without compromise. Through Nordson MARCH’s surface modification technology, manufacturers and designers solve problems or meet challenges by creating the desired surface properties without impacting the selected bulk material properties. Plasma delivers superior performance, higher quality and reliability with improved bonding, increased wettability, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, lubricity and biocompatibility. It removes nano-level contaminants, introduces specific functional groups and deposits a variety of biocompatible coatings.

Nordson MARCH provides innovative plasma processes and equipment to meet specific application requirements of the medical industry. Medical manufacturers and suppliers can select from Nordson MARCH’s full line of batch and in-line systems to easily integrate plasma technology into all phases of product development and manufacturing. Whether the manufacturing environment requires high-speed automation, standalone or cleanroom processing, Nordson MARCH has the ideal solution for lean medical manufacturing.
