Implantation - Import export

Our precision metal strip products are custom-made in biocompatible alloys for implantable medical devices that improve quality of life for patients around the world. We work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals to manufacture innovative metal materials that enable smaller, lighter and higher performing medical implants. Superior Titanium Strip for Implantable Medical Devices We have developed proprietary practices for the successful reduction of Titanium Grade 5 (6Al-4V) and Titanium Grade 23 Alloys (6Al-4V ELI) to thicknesses of 0.0039” (0.10mm). Our process results in a finish much superior to alternative methods of etching or grinding strips to gauge. This surface finish and gauge control translates to improvements in finished product quality as well as process controls during drawing, stamping, etching or laser cutting. These alloys are offered in the fully annealed or the as-rolled tempers.

For more than 85 years, we have been at the forefront of supporting metallurgical and engineering advances in the medical industry. Today, our innovative materials are used by some of the largest manufacturers of implantable medical devices and technology in the world. Implantable Materials for Life-Saving Medical Applications Our precision strip and shaped wire materials are custom-engineered in biocompatible alloys and play a critical role in creating life-saving medical implants and medical devices. Precision Metal Strip for Implantable Medical Devices Tight Tolerance Custom Shaped Wire for Orthodontic Brackets Shaped Wire for Toothbrush Staples and Anchor Wire Electrolytic Copper Wire (C11000) used as Shaped Channel Wire for Superconductors in MRI Scanners We Engineer Precision Materials to Meet Your Medical Implant Needs Our range of highly customized medical-grade alloys combined with our metallurgical expertise, makes us the go-to material supplier

Surgical Implant 316L is a double melted stainless steel, regarded as a medical grade, this stainless steel is melted to achieve high levels of purity and cleanliness. It has excellent resistance to both general and intergranular corrosion, and pitting and crevice corrosion. The double melting allows for superior surface finish. Surgical implant 316L Stainless Steel is our most commonly sold medical stainless steel. Beyond removing impurities, this process, in combination with the unique nickel and chromium content of 316, tends to facilitate the formation of the surface chromium oxide layer that makes stainless steel corrosion resistant. There is some belief that surgical implant 316L forms a more substantial surface layer, and that this plays a strong role in protecting the host body from reactions to the nickel content of the material. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Titanium for Implantable Medical Devices Ti 6Al/4V ELI sheet has found application in medical implants owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. In the cold rolled and annealed temper the material will not exhibit a continuous alpha network at prior beta grain boundaries or a continuous alpha case layer on the surface. Owing to the alloy’s high strength and low ductility, it is difficult to cold draw into finished shapes. Hot forming has been found to be effective.

Our titanium strip portfolio includes titanium grade 23 (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) and titanium grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V). These products are custom-made to exacting specifications and predominantly used for implantable medical devices. We also work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to engineer titanium strip and foil in Ti Grades 1, 2, 4 and 9 down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) thickness. Titanium Grade 23 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) Ti 6Al/4V ELI strip is used in medical implant applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. Titanium Grade 5 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V) Ti 6Al/4V strip has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Consequently, it is used extensively in aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, and surgical implants.

Our Pure Nickel Strip has been the premier material for battery connections for decades. The high purity of our custom-made material offers the highest conductivity of commercially manufactured nickel products due to the low impurity level. Battery Contacts for Implantable Medical Devices Patients worldwide rely on batteries to improve and maintain quality of life. Our pure nickel strip materials are used to power implantable devices such as neurostimulators, pacemakers, and cardiac defibrillators. Aerospace Battery Connectors Nickel strip engineered for high-tech aircraft battery systems that deliver long life and high reliability. Our materials are critical to safety, providing peak power for engine and emergency power backup. Rechargeable Battery Components in Drilling applications Nickel 201/270 strip for rechargeable battery components used in oilfield downhole tools, drilling, measurement
