Case Studies
CASE STUDY
Corrosion Protection for Implants
A leading medical device company contacted VSI when their devices started to fail in the field. They found corrosion on a micro-connector that sent signals from a long-term implant to external electronics. The corrosion blocked the accuracy of the signal. The companies reputation was at stake as the patients lost trust in the device.
CASE STUDY
Dielectric Protection for Patients
VSI Parylene was approached by a leading robotic surgical tool manufacturer due to in-field product failures. As these devices were already in use, an effective solution required strict compatibility with existing production processes.
CASE STUDY
Barrier Layer for Sensitive Chemistry
The research division of a leading edge technology company contacted VSI Parylene in regards to an issue with contaminants leaching from its plastic packaging into a sensitive chemistry that was used to preserve their unique technology.
CASE STUDY
Accelerated Development
A start-up medical device company with a tight development timeline contacted VSI Parylene to work on the development of an implantable medical device designed to help millions of people with a common sleeping problem.
