Medical Devices & Surgical Instruments Manufacturer
Challenge
After machining and forming, surgical instruments showed non-uniform finishes, micro-scratches from angular media, poor cleanability, heavy reliance on manual polishing, and inspection rejections that delayed deliveries under ISO 13485 requirements.
Solution
We specified medical-grade spherical glass beads (100–180 microns) with low blast pressure, controlled dwell time, and dedicated equipment to deliver a uniform satin-matte finish, cut secondary polishing by over 65%, and reduce finish-related rejections from 7% to under 1%.
