Medical technology

In the medical technology sector, the diversity of applications and stringent regulations impose very high standards for the production of medical devices, such as syringe needles, prostheses and surgical instruments.

Each component must not only meet extremely tight tolerances but also ensure maximum biocompatibility and safety. TIAC’s grinding wheels are designed to meet these challenges, offering high-precision solutions that meet the rigorous standards of the medical industry.

Importance of abrasive precision in medical technology

The machining of medical components requires exceptionally precise surface finishes and tight dimensional tolerances to ensure functionality and safety.

For example, syringe needles must have a perfectly sharp, chamfered tip to minimise pain and the risk of injury during injection.

Similarly, prostheses require a smooth surface finish to avoid adverse immune responses and to ensure optimal interaction with human tissue.

Material challenges in medical technology

Materials used in medical technology, such as advanced stainless steels, titanium and special alloys, offer constant challenges in the research and development of abrasive products.

These materials often have high hardness and corrosion resistance, which can quickly wear out conventional grinding wheels and generate excessive heat during machining.

TIAC’s grinding wheels have been specifically developed to overcome these challenges, ensuring effective, gentle grinding that preserves the properties of sensitive materials.
