Progressive Technology ceramics are used in a
multitude of medical applications. CNC
machined components for Orthodontics;
braces and internal components for
Medical devices; valves, pumps, pistons
and cylinders for blood analysis equipment,
dialysis
machines, etc.; insulators for
pacemaker applications and cases for
implants.
(See also Laser Applications.)
Advanced ceramics are the preferred
material for components in many medical
devices and instruments because of their inherent bio-compatibility, electrical resistivity,
corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, contamination resistance, high strength, hardness, and dimensional stability. Typical materials used are high purity alumina’s, zirconia’s, and porous ceramics. See material for our ceramic specifications. |
