Orthopaedic implants are continually being developed and used more frequently, thus increasing the need for Impact Finisher's shot peening services in the medical industry. Many implants have a limited lifespan before they need to be removed and replaced. By shot peening these parts, the interval between operations can be extended. When maximum movement and flexibility is needed, for example in joint replacements, the amount of material on the implant is reduced to a minimum and the material is shot peened to increase and improve its load bearing attributes.

Impact Finishers also offers satin lustre finishing for use on medical equipment; this is particularly effective in reducing bacterial contamination. The surface finish left behind from this process closes all the pores so ingress of bacteria can be eliminated.
