As medical device designers and manufacturers, you often depend on the property wetting, which can lie at the heart of your product’s reliability.
Wetting determines two critical things:
- How well your adhesives, inks, or coatings adhere – ensuring structural integrity and compliance
- How effectively your coatings perform – from hydrophilic lubricity to hydrophobic protection
In our technical piece, Why Surface Measurement Matters in Medical Device Manufacturing, Dyne Testing’s Alison Fox and Conor Kelly explain how understanding and quantifying surface energy and contact angle can help you:
- Optimise adhesion and coating function across diverse substrates
- Understand cleaning, activation, and plasma treatment processes
- Generate traceable, audit-ready data for your validation
With practical examples, the article shows how surface measurement turns an invisible risk into a controllable parameter – supporting consistent quality and patient safety.
