What we do changes people's lives. Biomedical implants and surgical instruments must meet extremely stringent composition, fabrication, and functional standards.
We work closely with the medical industry to develop and apply new products and processes that transform what the medical world and patients are able to achieve.
Orthopedic implants require not only biocompatibility, but also exceptional mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in intense physiological conditions over a long service life, requiring materials with exceptionally high abrasion (wear) and fatigue resistance.
Enhanced strength and wear resistance can be achieved by incorporating cold work in the material. Small diameter offerings available
Retains higher strength and exceptional wear resistance irrespective of manufacturing method driving consistent performance over lifetime
Increased processability due to finer grain sizes and superior homogeneous composition available in small diameter offerings to improve processing yields
Titanium offers increased corrosion resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Available in four commercially pure grades
Our materials enable expandable stents with high elastic modulus, low recoil, thinner struts through strong tensile properties. Reducing strut thickness improves clinical performance and reduces stent size, enabling access to smaller vessels.
Nonmagnetic with a unique combination of ultra-high tensile strength, good ductility and toughness, with excellent corrosion resistance
Nonmagnetic solid-solution strengthened cobalt base alloy with oxidation-corrosion, good ductility, and toughness
Stability under high fatigue requirements and good ductility with a combination of strength and corrosion resistance. Non ferromagnetic, and MRI safe
High-strength biocompatible materials resistant to corrosion and fracturing are essential for high-quality crowns, dental implants, and surgical instrumentation. Our materials have the necessary strength and low-nickel content for patients with metal sensitivities.
FDA-approved essentially nickel and cobalt free austenitic stainless with exceptionally high tensile and fatigue strength
Low nickel version retains higher strength and exceptional wear resistance irrespective of manufacturing method driving consistent performance over lifetime
Titanium offers increased corrosion resistance and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Available in four commercially pure grades
Extra-low interstitial ASTM B348 Grade 23 has superior damage tolerance and better mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures
Our material solutions are used for the next generation of implantable surgical clips where elevated properties are required surgical clips and suture wire.
Stability under high fatigue requirements and good ductility with a combination of strength and corrosion resistance
High-strength, vacuum arc remelted, low carbon, high nickel and molybdenum alloy with chemistry modifications designed to maximize corrosion resistance
Partner with us for end-to-end production of components, patient-matched implants, or application-specific tools created with additive manufacturing in our production facilities with powder lifecycle management and risk mitigation.
Ti64 Grade 23+ combines controlled powder chemistry with lower oxygen content and optimized print parameters to provide 15-20% improvement in mechanical properties
NiTi alloys with optimized powder chemistry and print parameters exhibit superelastic and shape memory properties
An essentially nickel-free austenitic stainless alloy with a high nitrogen content to maintain its austenitic structure with superior tensile and fatigue strength
