While lubrication is probably the last thing patients or health care professionals think about, far upstream the engineer who designs mechanical and electromechanical medical devices has to think about it. Otherwise, performance — perhaps even a medical procedure — could be compromised. Nye is your partner in selecting the right lubricant for moving parts in medical and dental instruments. More importantly, it’s about seeing the lubricant not merely as an add-on near the end of the design cycle, but as a critical design material. Carefully selected, lubricants do much more than reduce friction and wear. They can lengthen the life of the device, broaden the temperature range at which it operates, reduce unwanted noise, control free motion, impart a clinically appropriate feel, provide an environmental seal, cut design and production costs — and even reduce warranty claims. In short, lubricants can add value even to breakthroughs in medical technology.
