BALIMED ARGENTA Our antimicrobial silver coating for surgical instruments

Dental instruments and tools
Surgical instruments
Minimally Invasive Surgical (MIS) instruments

Instruments used for invasive surgery all bypass the body's natural lines of defence and consequently pave the way for infections. An instrument coated with BALIMED ARGENTA, creates a surface with an antimicrobial effect. The LR test method (logarithmic reduction of the number of bacteria) was used to demonstrate this effect of the new Ag-doped PVD coatings. The unique properties of BALIMED ARGENTA at a glance.

  • New-generation PVD coatings doped with 2 to 5% silver, therefore high antimicrobial efficacy
  • Antimicrobial activity confirmed by ASTM 2180
  • Log 3 reduction after autoclave cycles (50 times)
  • No cytotoxic effect (ISO 10993-5)
  • Autoclavable
