Medical Technology
Components for Medical Engineering place very high demands on the technical ceramics. In this case only excellent materials, optically perfect appearance and high reliable components are accepted. In addition, it is important to distinguish components for disposition (implants) or short-term use in body cavities (endoscopic components). Due to the spatial separation in the production, contamination of the materials can be avoided to 100%. The most common material is Z 700 E (HIP) – a ZrO2 meeting the ISO 13356:2008 standard, but also a ZTA material on the basis of a high purity Al2O3 + ZrO2 nano-scale batch.
