Medical implants - Import export

Novostia, a Swiss startup founded in 2017, has entrusted MPS with the manufacture of its TRIFLO artificial valve, a revolutionary aortic prosthesis on several levels. Thanks to its aerodynamic design, the presence of three leaflets and the absence of physical pivot axes for the leaflets, the TRIFLO valve aims to satisfy the following three criteria: - A device lifespan at least equal to that of the patient, to avoid the need for a second surgical procedure. This means more than 30 million flap openings and closures per year, with no leaks, blockages, cracks, ruptures or flap escapes. - The artificial valve must not lead to thrombosis, so that patients do not need to take anticoagulants. - Operation (flap opening and closing, blood flow through the valve) must be as silent as possible, so as not to disturb the patient or those around him, day or night. The TRIFLO device is in clinical trial and is not approved for sale.

Our precision metal strip products are custom-made in biocompatible alloys for implantable medical devices that improve quality of life for patients around the world. We work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals to manufacture innovative metal materials that enable smaller, lighter and higher performing medical implants. Superior Titanium Strip for Implantable Medical Devices We have developed proprietary practices for the successful reduction of Titanium Grade 5 (6Al-4V) and Titanium Grade 23 Alloys (6Al-4V ELI) to thicknesses of 0.0039” (0.10mm). Our process results in a finish much superior to alternative methods of etching or grinding strips to gauge. This surface finish and gauge control translates to improvements in finished product quality as well as process controls during drawing, stamping, etching or laser cutting. These alloys are offered in the fully annealed or the as-rolled tempers.

With the new tightening procedures for cleaning and disinfecting implant ancillaries, PPSU offers an interesting solution guaranteeing a longer life cycle for products. Though it costs usually more than other medical grade polymers (POM, PP), it can nevertheless prove to be more economical in the long term due to its durability. This is especially true for complex designs which are expensive to machine. PPSU does not have any problems with the cleaning & pre-disinfection products. Our material is lot controlled, serialized and is delivered with a certificate of conformance. Coloured resin has been tested under ISO10993/5/10/11/18. The material is not for permanent implantation. PPSU behaves very well after a large number of sterilisation cycles in an autoclave at 134°C/273°F, it can be sterilized through other methods (ETO; gamma, plasma, dry heat). it is polishable for a perfect finish.

A HIGHLY EFFICIENT METHOD WITHOUT THE RISK OF WORK PIECES DAMAGING EACH OTHER Compared to standard mass finishing systems the newly developed M-TMD machine range finish high-value components 10 to 20 times more efficiently! By mounting the work pieces individually to workstations, which are part of a rotating carousel, you can process up to 18 work pieces in one single batch without risking part-on-part impingement. Different workstation angles - relative to their vertical position - allow the individual adaption of the machine parameters to your work pieces and guarantee absolutely stable finishing processes with excellent and repeatable results. APPLICATIONS: Orthopedic implants (medical engineering) Turbine blades (for airplanes as well stationary turbines) Precision components, for example, for pumps and compressors Work pieces made from tungsten carbide and other hard metals Fan wheels for turbo chargers (automotive industry) Sintered components, etc.

Our titanium strip portfolio includes titanium grade 23 (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) and titanium grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V). These products are custom-made to exacting specifications and predominantly used for implantable medical devices. We also work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to engineer titanium strip and foil in Ti Grades 1, 2, 4 and 9 down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) thickness. Titanium Grade 23 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) Ti 6Al/4V ELI strip is used in medical implant applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. Titanium Grade 5 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V) Ti 6Al/4V strip has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Consequently, it is used extensively in aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, and surgical implants.

Titanium for Implantable Medical Devices Ti 6Al/4V ELI sheet has found application in medical implants owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. In the cold rolled and annealed temper the material will not exhibit a continuous alpha network at prior beta grain boundaries or a continuous alpha case layer on the surface. Owing to the alloy’s high strength and low ductility, it is difficult to cold draw into finished shapes. Hot forming has been found to be effective.

L-605™ is a nonmagnetic cobalt-based chromium-tungstennickel alloy that has excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, and high strength at both room and elevated temperatures. Through work hardening, high strength levels can be obtained. L-605™ has a minimal heat treatment response, but can be used in the cold worked and aged condition. Applications include medical implant devices, springs, valves, and engine components for the aerospace industry. As a result of its high tungsten content, L-605TM is radiopaque, which is beneficial for implant medical devices, such as stents. Because of the alloy’s high work hardening rate, only minimal reductions can be taken before solution annealing will be required. L-605TM is very resistant to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures, and is nonmagnetic in all conditions. L-605™ is produced by vacuum induction melting followed by electroslag remelting (VIM-ESR), and as such, has a low nonmetallic inclusion level.

Titanium exhibits a unique combination of properties including excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and outstanding strength to weight ratios. Titanium is produced as commercially pure or alloyed. Commercially pure titanium is typically used in implantable medical applications whereas the titanium alloys are produced with the addition of vanadium or aluminum for applications such as aerospace. Hamilton Precision Metals processes strip and foil products in Titanium CP (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 4) and Titanium 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9).
