Ceramics for Medical Technology
Constantly increasing demands on the quality and functional safety of medical products in the various global health care systems require reliable materials, components and solutions that sustainably meet even tough approval standards can withstand the high challenges of everyday clinical practice.
CeramTec advanced ceramics with their unique material properties open up enormous performance potential for applications in medical technology. With over 100 years of experience in technical ceramics and more than 40 years of expert know-how in medical technology (implantology and endoprosthesis), we offer our customers globally networked engineering and solution competence. Today and in the future.
Where can Advanced Ceramics in Medical Technology be found? Everywhere where performance and safety are crucial.
For people and in people – for many areas of daily life, CeramTec advanced ceramics perform their function with absolute reliability worldwide and are indispensable in crucial areas, in medical equipment and systems, in the operating room, in hospitals, in treatment centers, in medical practices, in laboratory technology and pharmaceuticals, as well as in homecare applications for patients at home.
Our wide product range comprises:
Piezo transducers and ultrasonic sources for the generation of precise mechanical shock waves
Piezo sensors and ultrasonic transducers for measurement of mechanical/ fluidic variables
Insulation bodies (shielding, electrical insulation)
Thermally conductive ceramics (thermal management)
Biocompatible ceramics/ substrates (neutral in therapy and analysis)
Sealing and regulating discs to control gas and liquid flows
High-performance capacitors (highest voltage and frequency load, e. g. laser)
Ceramic slide bearings (almost friction and abrasion free)
and many more.
Some of the application areas are:
Lithotripsy (destruction of kidney, gall and urinary stones)
Hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis (thermal and fluid management)
Visualization (MRT, CT, X-ray, ultrasound)
Infusion (drug pumps, artificial nutrition)
Surgical instruments (laparoscopy, ultrasonic scalpels)
Anesthesia/ventilation/ inhalation (gas flow control, nebulization)
Dental treatment (tartar removal)
Diagnostics (biochips)
Laboratory analysis (cell disruption, mixing, dispersing)
Cosmetic treatments
and more.
