MicroCare to present 'stiction' reducing lubricant at MD&M

MicroCare Medical will present its new Duraglide dry lubricant at the MD&M Expo in Minneapolis. 

Duraglide dry lubricant assists in reducing ‘stiction’ (the combination of sticking and friction) when using medical devices. Made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) it lowers surface-to-surface friction resulting in easier and more consistent movement of actuation-based surgical and medical procedural equipment.

A notable feature of Duraglide dry lubricant is that it contains very small PTFE particles. The smaller the particle size, the less friction is produced. With an average particle size of just 3.7 microns, it reduces the actuation forces resulting in a smoother operation, greatly improving product performance.
