Medical Solutions

PECM is an invaluable tool for producing medical devices due to its precision and the resulting high surface quality. It is perfect for processing biocompatible materials without causing thermal or mechanical damage.

 


Materials Machined

  • Titanium and its alloys
  • Stainless steel (304, 316L, 420)
  • Cobalt-chrome alloys
  • Nitinol

Market Sectors

  • Medical: Surgical tools, bone plates, dental implants, and orthopaedic implants.
  • Defence: Prosthetics.

 

Key Benefits & Numbers

  • Ideal for Bio-integration: Achieves Ra values of less than 0.1 µm on biocompatible materials, ensuring a smooth surface that is ideal for bio-integration and easy to sterilize.
  • Crack-Free Parts: The non-contact, non-thermal process ensures the part is free of micro-cracks and residual stress, which can lead to implant failure.
  • Consistent Quality: Delivers repeatable, consistent results for large-scale production runs of sensitive medical components.

Relevant Industry Standards

  • ASTM F138: Standard Specification for Wrought 18Cr-13Ni-2.5Mo Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants.
  • ASTM F620: Standard Practice for the Surface Preparation and Markings of Metallic Surgical Implants.
  • ISO 13485: Medical devices Quality Management Systems.
