Devices

Ablation devices use energy sources like radiofrequency, microwave, laser, or cryotherapy to precisely destroy or remove tissue, treating conditions such as arrhythmias, tumors, and other disorders. TST’s advanced coatings protect against dielectric breakdown, enabling controlled energy delivery, reducing collateral damage, and extending device life during high-frequency use.

Bipolar devices deliver electrical energy to tissue through two closely spaced electrodes, enabling more precise and controlled tissue management than monopolar systems. Applying TST’s coatings to these devices enhances electrical insulation, minimizes the risk of arcing during high-frequency energy delivery, reduces tissue adhesion, and improves overall procedural safety in electrosurgical applications.

Monopolar electrosurgical devices use high-frequency electrical currents to cut, coagulate, desiccate, or fulgurate tissue during surgical procedures. TST’s coatings enhance these devices by ensuring consistent energy transmission, increasing dielectric strength in targeted areas, providing thermal insulation, and improving overall durability in demanding electrosurgical environments

Serrated and non-serrated forceps—such as grasping, thumb, and pick-ups—are used to hold tissue or objects during procedures. TST’s coatings create hard, textured surfaces that improve grip, enhance control, reduce wear, and extend tool life, especially in minimally invasive surgeries. They can also eliminate the need for brazed carbide pads or inserts, simplifying design.

Orthopedic, cardiovascular and dental implants are medical devices surgically inserted in the body to repair or replace damaged or diseased bones, joints, or surrounding tissues. TST’s coatings can be applied to implant materials such as titanium and tantalum to extend the implant life and increase patient safety by eliminating infections caused by metal hypersensitivity.

TST’s coatings can be tailored for wear and corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, thermal barriers, and other surface needs. Applied selectively, they enhance performance, safety, and biocompatibility in high-stress surgical and implantable devices. The coatings also reduce friction and galling, enabling smoother deployment and retrieval.
