PROCESSO DI PRODUZIONE DI UN DISPOSITIVO MEDICO RIVESTITO CON UN FILM SOTTILE A BASE DI CARBONIO E DISPOSITIVO MEDICO OTTENIBILE MEDIANTE TALE PROCESSO
A process for producing a medical device (100), which is coated with a thin film based on carbon, comprises the steps of: - positioning a medical device to be coated inside a processing chamber (3), in which there is provided a target element (10) of carbon reducing the pressure in the processing chamber until reaching a residual pressure between 10-4 Pa and 10-3 Pa starting in the processing chamber a physical vapour deposition step in which a group of ions is accelerated against the target element so as to cause the projection of carbon atoms towards the medical device maintaining the physical vapour deposition step for a predefined time so as to deposit on the medical device a coating of a thin film of turbostratic carbon having a thickness between 100 nm and 1000 nm.
