Performance Carbon for Healthcare Industry
The global medical devices sector is undergoing a period of significant transformation largely driven by demographic shifts, evolving patient needs and technological advancements. An ageing population, combined with lifestyle related factors has resulted in a global increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases. As a result, early detection, prevention and improved management of chronic diseases has become an increasing focus for healthcare systems across the globe.
Technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, robotics, predictive analytics and wearable medical technology have revolutionised the landscape of medical diagnostics and treatment.
We manufacture a broad variety of components for use in medical instrumentation as well as in tools for treatment and surgery. Biocompatibility, excellent chemical and electrical resistance and low wear rates, plus our high-quality, volume manufacturing means we are perfectly placed to supply components for medical applications.
Medical engineering demands the highest standards of precision, accuracy, reliability and performance. Equipment manufacturers and medical professionals choose our materials for their exceptional physical characteristics.
Our deep understanding of ceramic material properties, together with our expertise in braze alloy design, allows us to produce high-density, highly reliable feedthroughs for medical devices.
- Our bare ceramics and metallised components are used in medical imaging and oncology equipment.
- Our ceramic feedthroughs are used in implantable technology such as cochlear implants and neuro-stimulation.
- Our components are also used for critical functions in gear pumps, blood apheresis systems, microdosing systems and oxygen compression.
- Our expertise in producing tight tolerance and repeatable quality on small precision parts allows us to produce surgical equipment from ablation tools to surgical laser waveguides.
