Medical blades
by LUTZ BLADES
Best results,
when it really mattersThere is probably no area in which so much emphasis is placed on excellent product quality as in medical applications.
That is why medical blades from LUTZ BLADES are used by market leaders in numerous medical fields. Whether in surgery, pathology or in the manufacture of PVC catheters and stents, for example, LUTZ BLADES blades can always be relied upon thanks to their precision, high-quality workmanship and superior service life.
How you benefit
by LUTZ BLADES medical blades:- Clean cutting edges without edge buildup
- Less cutting dust
- Higher cutting speeds
- Higher productivity due to fewer blade changes
How to draw
LUTZ BLADES medical blades from:- Best materials
- Compliance with the tightest tolerances
- Optimal hardness
- Selected high-performance coatings
The wide range of materials
for our bladesOur product portfolio offers you blades in thicknesses between 0.06 - 3.0 mm and with final hardnesses between 40 - 85 HRc. You also have a wide choice in our material program:
- Carbon steel
- Rust-resistant, hardened steel
- (HSS) High-performance High-speed Steel
- Ceramic
- Austenite
- Bimetal
- Carbide
The versatile coating program
for our blades
TiN (Titan-Nitrid)
Standard hard material with high wear resistance and relatively high coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.4 to 0.7), usually gold-colored, safe application range up to approx. 300 °C.
TiC (Titan-Carbit)
Has lower wear resistance than TiN with significantly lower coefficient of friction (against reference material steel approx. 0.3 to 0.5), usually anthracite colored.
TiCN (Titan-Carbonit)
Intermediate coating material between the high wear resistance of TiN and the low coefficient of friction of TiC, relative position between TiN and TiC depending on the ratio of C and N, usually anthracite color.
TiAlN (Titan-Aluminium-Nitrid)
Has greater oxidation resistance than TiN with comparable coefficient of friction, usually anthracite blue.
ZrN (Zirkon-Nitrid)
With a wear resistance similar to TiN, but denser structure (morphology) than TiN and thus greater resistance to pitting under appropriate load, usually steel colored.
DLC (Diamond-like Carbon)
Has high wear resistance with low coefficient of friction (approx. 0.1 against reference material steel); susceptible to impact loads and high temperatures (between 100 and 300 °C depending on structure).
(PTFE) (Poly-Tetra-Fluor-Ethylen) – Teflon®
Teflon® non-stick coating (PTFE); due to the very low surface tension, practically no foreign bodies stick to the cutting edge, resistant to acids and alkalis; significantly reduced frictional resistance; the very low static friction allows jerk-free cutting (therefore very suitable for the medical sector); low wear resistance; not suitable for contact with sodium and at temperatures above 250 °C.
Color varnish
Applied over the entire surface, serves as a sorting aid for different material thicknesses and as corrosion protection.
Blueing / Blackening
Applied over the entire surface, light corrosion and starch protection, also serves as a distinguishing aid.
