Smaller devices enable minimal invasive therapies reducing the patient trauma and recovery time. The end user of the medical device today demands a device that allows them to return to living as normal life or even improved life as before the therapy was required. Miniaturization of these devices helps support these needs and therefore is an integral consideration for digital health and remote patient monitoring applications. This trend is driving the hospitals and medical device companies to develop new treatments and devices that are less intrusive with increased functionality. The results are smaller and more connected devices which are increasing the complexity for the material supplier to support with more advanced materials, design and manufacturing process for these increasingly smaller components.
Sandvik Materials Technology have been supporting the most demanding industries with material development over the years, for example the aerospace industry with lighter and stronger material, the oil & gas industry with very corrosive resistance materials or high-temperature materials for temperatures above 2000® C needed in various metals extraction or chemical processes. Often the company develops a new alloy in cooperation with the customers specifically made to fit their application and material requirements of the same. All made in the in-house melt shops. The ultra-fine wire and wire-based components branded EXERA® and that are used in medical devices are a result of decades of materials development, the inhouse die craftsmen and women combined experience and painstaking attention to details that makes the Sandvik material unique and world-leading.
In this webinar you will meet our senior medical wire-based components designers and manufacturers together with our senior R&D metallurgy experts who has been part of designing and manufacturing many of the EXERA® wire-based components that today are in many high-tech medical devices such as DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation), CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitors) or various cardiovascular devises. They will present their way of working in making a custom specific alloy and how it becomes an important part in a high-tech medical device that either sense, stimulates or transmit signals in the human body.
Come join us on April 26 and listen in as we feed you with our many years of material development experience to the medical device segment. We will reserve plenty of time for questions at the end of the webinar. The event is well suited for employees involved in design and manufacturing challenges from all experience levels. We hope to see you there!
