    Micro-abrasive blasting is a technique that uses compressed air and micron-sized abrasive particles to clean, cut, deburr, or texture a variety of medical device components and surfaces. It can be used to selectively remove coatings from catheters and guide wires, deburr cannulae and tubular components, and remove laser remelt and oxidation from stents without altering their geometry. Comco's applications lab can help determine if micro-abrasive blasting can improve production efficiency and product quality for medical manufacturing applications such as selectively deburring implantable devices and texturing medical molds. Their systems can also integrate with semi-automated equipment.

    Take a Closer Look at Micro-Abrasive Blasting
    Micro-abrasive blasting (MicroBlasting) works by propelling a uniform mixture of micron-sized abrasive particles and dry, compressed air out of a small nozzle at high velocity. It is a simple yet highly effective method to clean, cut, deburr or texture a wide variety of parts and surfaces.

    Micro-Abrasive Blasting for Medical Applications

    Catheter / Guide Wire


    Remove polymer and PTFE coatings from selected areas and prepare the wire surface to promote bond and coating adhesion.

    Cannulae / Tubular Components


    Deburr point and heel grinds, etch the surface prior to overmolding, and texture to enhance echogenic properties.

    Stent / Plugs / Shunts


    Remove laser induced remelt, dross, oxidation, and discoloration without altering the device geometry.

    Implantable Devices
    Selectively deburr bone screws, plates, and implantable prostheses and texture to promote tissue growth around the implant.

    Medical Molding
    Surface texture on EDM or direct-machined mold cavities. Clean and restore the surface for maintenance purposes.

    Medical Electronics
    Remove encapsulation material from pacemaker shells, expose conductors on defibrillator leads, and remove metallic layers on Piezo electrical transducers.
