The medical sector

The medical field demands precision, safety, and absolute reliability in every instrument used in clinical and surgical procedures. In this context, surface coating technologies play an essential role in the performance, durability, and ergonomics of these devices—reducing risks, increasing the predictability of movements, and directly contributing to better patient outcomes.

HEF's vision for your business:

It is with this vision that HEF acts as a technological partner in the supply of PVD/PACVD – CERTESS® CARBON (DLC) coatings for surgical and dental instruments. Our solutions range from forceps, scissors, pliers and needle holders to high-demand tools such as orthopedic drills and saws.

Certess Carbon technology offers a range of key benefits for the hospital environment:

  • Sophisticated aesthetic finish: adds perceived value to the instrument.
  • Low reflectivity and color differentiation in instruments: facilitates their identification and use during procedures.
  • Biocompatibility: essential for applications in contact with the human body.
  • Resistance to autoclave processes: maintains properties even after repeated sterilization cycles.
  • Reducing friction lowers the level of force required to manipulate surgical instruments and tools.
  • Wear resistance and high hardness: increased durability and reduced replacement costs.
