Small microburrs, fissures, cracks, and other defects left behind by machining on the surface of metal parts create an environment susceptible to bacterial and viral growth.

Electropolishing's ability to remove a microscopically precise surface layer with absolute consistency leaves critical metal parts with an ultraclean and ultrasmooth surface that inhibits the growth of pathogens and makes reusable devices easier to clean, without burrs, microcracks and other surface imperfections that can trap liquids and debris and give harmful bacteria a place to hide.

In fact, electropolishing is so effective at optimizing the surface of medical devices and parts that we are often consulted for help in the prototyping phase to ensure that features are designed in ways that make electropolishing even more effective and avoid common design flaws.
