After the coating application, Orion has the test procedures and instruments to verify 100% compliance of the applied coating specifications whether for prototypes, short run volume or high volume coating applications.  Orion's experience has made us one of the nation's top specialty medical coatings suppliers. Our biocompatible coatings can be applied to disposable and reusable medical devices, instruments and equipment.

We also coat guidewires in all stages of assembly, from the outer guidewire alone, without the taper mandrel and safety wire to a complete guidewire with the internal wires welded in place. Guidewire diameters of .010", to .038" in both round wire and flat wire and special sizes are coated weekly. .
