New Options for Micromachining Medical Devices
Location
Medical device manufacturing has experienced major advances in the area of microminiature production. Product manufacturers have developed new options for machining and finishing small, intricate parts and components. This not only represents a significant breakthrough, it also expands the possibilities and quality of current and future medical treatments and therapies. Examples of microminiature devices in use today include bone screws for facial reconstruction, circuitry in pacemakers that regulate the human heart, and stents that allow unimpeded blood flow through veins.
For manufacturers of small parts for biological applications, precision and performance are vital. Tolerance specifications are extremely demanding owing to the size of the products, and process stability and repeatability are essential. Conventional machines and metal-treating processes used throughout the industry are capable of achieving precision required in the manufacture of implanted, invasive, and diagnostic devices. However, it is the product manufacturer's innovations, sound engineering and metallurgy, and rigorous attention to detail that will improve production quality.
