Contact Lenses, Eyecare, The Shattkys Experience

Plasma Cleaning is now available on our New Zealand-made RGP lenses.

Plasma Cleaning super-cleans the surface of the lens and increases the wetting properties of the lens surface for increased comfort.
(There is a fee of $10 per lens for this upgrade)

Contact lenses are modified by plasma treatment to impart protein- and cell-repelling characteristics, decrease bacterial adhesion, improve wettability and enhance patient comfort.

Shattkys take advantage of yet another new technology for their patients, its worth it!

 

So What is Plasma cleaning?

Plasma processes have been developed to attain a variety of specific surface properties. Here are some examples:

Surface Cleaning
Oxygen plasma treatment is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleaning methods. A wide variety of industries utilize gas plasma treatment to remove organic surface contamination from materials that require critical cleaning. The active species in the oxygen combined with VUV energy creates a chemical reaction with the surface contaminants, resulting in their removal. Applications include cleaning of circuit boards for improved wire bonding, removal of organic contamination from glass slides and flat panels, cleaning of medical devices and other materials such as various metals and ceramics.

Adhesion promotion
Improving adhesion between two surfaces is a common application. Good adhesion requires strong interfacial forces via chemical compatibility and/ or chemical bonding. Plasma surface treatment can also assist in creating chemically active functional groups, to improve interfacial adhesion. Common applications include pretreatment for medical catheters, cardiovascular stents, syringe components, dialysis pump parts and plastic films for drug bags. Plasma is also used to improve bondability on substrates, such as glass, polymers, ceramics and various metals.

Improving biocompatibility
Biomaterials that come in contact with blood or protein require special surface treatments to enhance biocompatibility.
