Composites for Medical Industry

Surgical Instrumentation
With the introduction of Minimal Invasive Surgery into the trauma market, the technology and requirements for surgical instrumentation has changed significantly. Many procedures now require structural components like targeting and external fixation devices as nail guides to be lightweight and radiolucent yet maintain the strength and stability of metals. To meet the challenge, Createc has introduced Composites based on proprietary polymer composite technology. Composites are specifically engineered for use in medical applications.

Profile Requirements for Composites:

•  High mechanical strength and stiffness
•  Radiolucent
•  Ability to be precisely machined
•  Dimensional stability following multiple sterilizations
•  Biocompatible
•  Light weight
•  Design freedom for new product development
