In medical technology, the highest surface quality and biocompatibility are essential. A proven method for finishing metallic medical components is electropolishing—an electrochemical process that smooths, cleans, and refines metal surfaces.

During electropolishing, the metal component is immersed in an electrolytic bath and connected as an anode. Microscopic irregularities are selectively removed by precisely controlled current application. This occurs primarily at roughness peaks, resulting in a uniform, smooth, and shiny surface. At the same time, impurities and potential germ carriers are eliminated. This is a decisive advantage, especially for medical applications.
