Highly reflective instruments can produce glare under intense surgical lighting, creating distractions and reducing visibility for surgeons during critical procedures.

Wet blasting adds a uniform texture to the surface of surgical-grade stainless steels, titanium, and other medical alloys.

The result…

✅ A uniform, fine-textured, non-reflective finish: Wet blasting achieves a controlled, homogeneous matte or satin surface ideal for reducing surgical glare

When it comes to medical implants, surface finishing is crucial — not just for appearance, but for ensuring safe and effective performance inside the body.

Wet blasting is a key process for preparing implant surfaces, but why is precise control and automation essential?

✅ Consistency and repeatability: Automated wet blasting delivers uniform surface texture and cleanliness on every implant — critical for reliable bone integration and long-term success.

In precision tool manufacturing, every time a tool is moved, it adds risk, labour, and cycle time. For round shank tools like drills, end mills, and reamers — reducing tool handling during finishing is a simple, effective way to increase efficiency and consistency.

Here’s where wet blasting makes a difference:

✅ Combines multiple finishing steps
Wet blasting can clean, deburr, and apply the required finish in a single operation — eliminating the need to transfer tools between separate processes.

For dental implantology, surface engineering is fundamental to biocompatibility — and wet blasting has quietly become one of the most effective techniques for optimising implant surfaces.

Unlike dry blasting, wet blasting produces a chemically clean, uniformly micro-roughened surface while minimising the risk of embedded abrasive particles. This matters, because residual contaminants and irregular surface defects can trigger adverse tissue responses and compromise osseointegration.

By using a water-abrasive slurry, wet blasting:
