Picosun’s PicoMEDICAL™ ALD solutions

PicoMEDICAL™ ALD solutions from Picosun constitute a production-proven and industry-leading technology. This technology can be used by manufacturers to coat biocompatible and bioactive ALD films on implantable medical devices and instruments, dental and orthopedic implants, lab-on-a-chip devices, neural stimulators, stents, and medical sensors.

These devices can be cost-effectively processed in a rapid manner and in large batches using production ALD equipment from Picosun. Picosun has worked with medical ALD applications for years. For example, dental implants are coated with Picosun's bioactive TiO2 thin films for more efficient osteointegration, and the powder ALD systems from Picosun are used in the pharmaceutical sector for surface functionalization of drug particles to achieve controlled delivery of drugs.

For applications that demand the highest conformality, Picosun’s proprietary Picoflow™ technology allows the coating of standard ALD materials on aspect ratios of up to several thousands to one.
