Thermoplastic medical composites

Few industries are as demanding as the medical sector. In addition to the highest quality standards, criteria such as resistance to cleaning agents, sterilisability and biocompatibility are decisive for the materials used in this sector. Medical fibre composites are increasingly being used in the medical sector due to their advantageous mechanical, thermal and chemical properties. Applications such as surgical instruments, orthopaedic products or diagnostic equipment benefit from their high stiffness and strength combined with low weight, high resistance to detergents and sterilisation cycles, as well as X-ray transparency and magnetic neutrality. As a long-standing partner to leading medical device companies, we understand the industry's exacting requirements. Our in-house production of medical fibre composites allows maximum flexibility and full traceability of materials and components. This ensures a high level of safety, transparency and quality and allows us to provide you with comprehensive advice on your project.

Orthopaedic Trauma Internal Fixation Systems

The goal of orthopaedic trauma treatment is to restore a broken bone to its correct position and orientation. When this is done by means of surgical intervention, fixation systems are used to secure the bone in the anatomically correct position. Manufacturers of such internal fixation systems need to meet many and exacting requirements in terms of function, weight and appearance, at the same time as keeping an eye on the overall costs in view of increasingly tight budgets.
