SUPPLYING METALS TO THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY
When it comes to developing medical products or devices used in a healthcare environment, you need to pay close attention to the manufacturing material you choose. Metal is typically used in the medical industry because its relatively high levels of strength and durability make it great for tasks that are subject to a lot of mechanical stress.
At MG Metals, we can supply the right metals for your medical project needs. We have provided our recommendations on the best metals for use in the medical industry. Alternatively, feel free to get in touch with a member of our dedicated team who can provide you with additional support.
METALS FOR USE IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY
The following are the most common types of metals used in the medical industry along with their typical uses:
ALUMINIUM
Aluminium is commonly used for support equipment that must be light, strong and corrosion resistant. Examples of such equipment include wheelchairs, walking sticks, bed frames and orthopaedic supports.
As aluminium can tarnish or oxidise very easily, we recommend using our finishing services to paint or anodise aluminium parts for durability.
STAINLESS STEEL
Most surgical tools like tweezers and forceps are made from Stainless Steel as the metal is durable and can be easily cleaned and sterilised.
