Surface Finishing

In medical and veterinary devices, the final surface finish is more than cosmetic, it’s about safety, hygiene, and reliability. At Kirkstall Precision, our finishing team ensures every instrument and component leaves our facility with a flawless surface that meets the highest medical standards.​

​With over 30 years of hands-on experience, our surface finishing specialists use a wide range of validated techniques to achieve the right result for every project. From surgical tools to implants, each process is tailored to deliver the required performance, durability, and look.​

  • Satin bead blasting: for a clean, uniform surface finish​
  • Vibro de-burring and polishing: removes excess residue and sharp edges for a smooth result​
  • Hand polishing to medical standards: ensures instruments meet the most exacting requirements​
  • Electropolishing: bright polishes, passivates, and deburrs metal surfaces while improving corrosion resistance​
  • Ultrasonic cleaning: precision cleaning of complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas​
  • Passivation: reduces chemical reactivity and enhances surface durability​

We also work with rigorously approved partners for specialist coatings such as anodising, titanium nitride, and gold plating, ensuring your components receive the right finish without compromise.
