PVD coatings for medical instruments — the TiN standard.
Scalpels, orthopedic instruments, dental tools, and surgical components. Documented, traceable, biocompatible — coated in our Fridley, MN facility since 1995.
TiN-coated medical instruments. Documented, traceable, and the industry standard for biocompatible PVD.
Biocompatible. Traceable. Documented.
Medical instrument buyers need more than a coating that works — they need one that can be documented across the paper trail their QA and regulatory teams are audited against.
Biocompatible
TiN (titanium nitride) is the widely accepted PVD coating for medical instruments — inert, corrosion-resistant, and used on surgical, orthopedic, and dental hardware for decades.
Documented process
Every job comes with the documentation your quality team expects. Standard specs like coating thickness and color are confirmed for each lot.
Longer instrument life
2–10× the life of uncoated tools on repeat-use instruments. Sharpness holds longer, corrosion is reduced, and the tell-tale gold finish makes coated stock visually distinct.
TiN is the medical-device standard — for good reason.

TiN — the medical standard
Distinctive gold finish, biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and 2–10× the life of uncoated tools. The default PVD choice for medical instruments.

Where a medical component needs more wear resistance than TiN, TiCN adds ~80% hardness for demanding instrument geometries.
