Abstract
A non-reflective instrument comprising a metallic substrate and a coating selected from the group consisting of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 /TiO mixtures, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 /Cr.sub.3 O.sub.2 mixtures and WC/Co mixtures.
Claims3
A non-reflective surgical instrument comprising:
- a surgical instrument metallic substrate;
- and
- a non-reflective coating comprising of a mixture of about 60% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and about 40% TiO by weight deposited on said instrument by a detonation gun process and rendering said instrument substantially non-reflective of infrared radiation.
A non-reflective surgical instrument comprising:
- a surgical instrument metallic substrate;
- and
- a non-reflective coating comprising a Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 /TiO mixture deposited on said substrate, said coating rendering said instrument substantially non-reflective of infrared radiation.
