Surgical Tools: Orthopaedic & Laparoscopic Power Tools Solution

As surgical power tools become smaller, lighter and more precise, end-users are demanding better return on investment. Extending maintenance cycles and preventing premature failures are two ways to improve the return on investment of a tool. These objectives can be achieved through improved material selection, design and high-tolerance manufacturing, which our OmniSeal® sealing control, Rulon® wear and friction control, and Meldin® tolerance control components provide.

Saint-Gobain Seals offers a number of sterilization resistant, low friction materials that are suitable for use in powered orthopaedic and laparoscopic power tools. These materials, in conjunction with low friction design options can reduce the incidence of premature failure and extend maintenance cycles. Typical applications include rotary shaft seals and bearings, miniature motor seals, and connector seals.
