• A precisely-directed stream of plasma is the heart of this revolutionary new system from Tri-Star. Plasma is energized gas in which ions, electrons and free radicals react. When used to treat medical devices, it improves joint strength and adhesion of specialized coatings for angioplasty balloons, catheters, guide wires, syringes, pacing leads, and other devices.

• Now you can direct plasma wherever you need it: It's the go-anywhere plasma for inner and outer surfaces of any medical device made from non-conductive material.

• Stronger bonding: The PT-2000 produces a failure-proof bond that meets or exceeds all current testing standards.

• Better adhesion of specialized coatings:The PT-2000 improves adhesion of biocompatible coatings in heart/lung oxygenators, filters and tubing.

• Greater lubricity: The PT-2000 enhances application of lubricious coatings for catheters, including ultra-thin neurological catheters and guide wires.

• Pinpoint accuracy and precision: The PT-2000 plasma stream can be directed into the smallest, most convoluted spaces. It is simple to operate and is highly reliable.

• Permanent identification:For indelible labeling of medical tubing and plastic components, the PT-2000 prepares surfaces to receive ID markings.

• Safe and environmentally friendly:The PT-2000 uses no chemicals and produces no hazardous wastes. It will not damage heat sensitive or other materials.

• PT-2000P can be equipped with a conveyor or a motorized slide that moves parts through the plasma treatment zone. The parts are loaded directly on the conveyor belt or into a special carrier installed on the conveyor. Each carrier is designed individually to accommodate specific geometry and/or mask some areas for selective treatment. This technique allows processing of wide variety of different parts without changing the main system.

• The bonding of the articles treated with PT-2000P passes most customary military and commercial durability requirements.

• PT-2000P is a stand-alone modular system that can be easily incorporated in any bonding, coating, or other processes.
