Considerations on Wafer and Polymer Coating Testing for Medical Devices

Applying semiconductor inspection technology to evaluate the biocompatibility of medical devices.

In the medical device industry, the evaluation of biocompatibility is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of products. Particularly for implants and devices implanted in the body, the biocompatibility of coating materials is crucial, influencing long-term safety and functionality. Delamination or degradation of coatings can potentially cause adverse effects on patients. Our wafer polymer coating testing considerations apply technologies developed in semiconductor inspection to contribute to the evaluation of medical device coatings. 【Application Scenarios】 - Coating evaluation of implant materials - Durability testing of medical polymer coatings - Friction evaluation in biocompatibility testing 【Effects of Implementation】 - Improved product reliability through mechanical strength evaluation of coatings - Durability assessment of coatings through scratch testing - Enhanced biocompatibility through friction evaluation
