Precision Casting for Medical Industries
Bone Fracture and Implants
Bone fracture occurs due to excessive force. Some major causes of bone fracture are road accidents, sports accidents, and so on. The degree of fracture also varies from a small crack to a totally shattered bone. After the bone fracture, bone misposition is pretty common. Surgeons fix the fractured bone back to the normal alignment during the surgery. They hold the bone in this position using bone fixation implants. Bone fixation implants consist of screws, nails, plates or any combination of them.
Implants are biomaterials put into the body (implanted). The purpose of implant is to support the function of broken bone during the bone regeneration period. They may or may not be removed after healing. Implants are more than just a medical device. They influence human’s life one way or another. The users of medical implants can regain their mobility and their daily life. This is why medical implant casting adds value to community.
Precision Casting for Medical Implant Casting
High dimensional accuracy and tight tolerance are crucial for medical implants. Fortunately, precision casting can satisfy these requirements. Precision casting becomes even more interesting because the shape of implants is usually complex. The shape of casting products is already near net shape in as-cast condition and only require a little more machining. Check our previous article about the details of precision casting processing.
Precision casting technique brings positive vibes to medical industry. This is especially because this technique allows mass production. This technique is also flexible to cast many shapes and sizes. Therefore, an investment casting foundry can cast a lot of different products and products variants. This is important because human body structure is unique to each person. So, more implants variations offer better options for the medical treatment.
High surface quality is necessary for implants. Even more, some implants require mirror-like quality. The surface quality of precision casting as-cast product is generally higher compared to other method. This simplifies and reduces the subsequent processes workload to produces high surface quality. Medical implant casting optimizes production time and cost.
