A coating can improve existing properties or introduce a completely new one. It is possible to make ceramics, which are normally insulating materials, conductive at specific points by applying metallic layers. One remarkable example of our capabilities is the 4-pol pin tip. The curved tip measures 30 mm in length and 4.6 mm in diameter and has four inner channels measuring 1 mm in diameter. It can be seamlessly integrated into medical devices for sensorics or stimulative applications. A coating functionalization enhances its cleanability and surface roughness (Ra = 0.8 µm). A probe head with this functionalization gives medical professionals a versatile tool with integrated functions, such as electrical conductivity.
