Precision Masking for Precision Medical Instruments—Apply the Coating only where you need it!
Precision masking, also known as Stop-Off Masking or Selective Coating, is specified by designers and engineers to ensure the coating is only applied to the surfaces requiring the protection of the ME-92® coating. Parameters for this are defined to ensure minimal variation in the coating process and so that surface characteristics are controlled. ME-92® performs multiple quality checks throughout the process to ensure adherence to customer specifications and to provide the best available finished product.
Meeting the precision masking requirement specified by designers and engineers
When precision matters ME-92 Operations delivers. Whether the part is a Prototype or thousands of parts needed per day, ME-92 will engineer a masking solution to meet the requirement. ME-92 has perfected the art of Stop-Off Masking with an in-house tool shop that engineers a solution to any interior/outside dimension, rib, sleeve, radius or thread.
The experienced staff at ME-92 approaches masking like a surgeon approaches an operation. While the masking methods are proprietary, a solution is engineered for every specifically-designed part. This Selective Coating process requires an attention to detail and a dedicated staff that can only be found at ME-92 Operations of Rhode Island.
Biocompatible Chromium Coating for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Surfaces
The ME-92® Coating offers the Industry’s Most Versatile Lineup of Biocompatible Chromium Coating Options for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in three finish options:
THREE FINISH OPTIONS:
- ME-92 Satin
- ME-92 Non Reflective
- ME-92 Platinum
ME-92® SATIN
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) Applied to tens of millions of devices, ME-92® Satin is our standard-bearer finish. As with all our finishes, it is bonded directly to the base material, is highly ductile and will not separate from the base material when twisted, flexed or impacted. Designed to enhance the overall performance of surgical devices; galling and fretting elimination, improved wear resistance, increased surface hardness, arrests corrosion from sterilization and laser marking, non-stick easy to clean surface, biocompatible and looks new after hundreds of uses. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® Satin coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.

ME-92® NON REFLECTIVE
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) Designed specifically for use in Laparoscopic and Endoscopic surgery procedures, ME-92® Non-Reflective coating reduces high-intensity light reflection and glare while providing the same reliable, biocompatible features of our full product line. Laser marking and repeated sterilization protocols will not degrade the color. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® NR coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.

ME-92® PLATINUM
(shown on left applied to a base of stainless steel) A highly polished surface deserves a high quality coating. From maintaining cutting edges on polished drills and reamers to sealing and protecting a polished instrument with a tough, durable finish our ME-92® Platinum finish takes polished stainless steel to the next level. Our Platinum finish provides a long-lasting, clean, new appearance for premier devices and instruments. Unlike other coatings, removal and reapplication of our ME-92® Platinum coating will not affect the base material or surface finish.
