Materials and parts for Surgery
For operations on or in a patient’s body various instruments and devices are required. We offer a wide range of materials and parts for this demanding medical field. We machine surgical instruments such as handles, surgical cutlery or camera housings as well as trial implants in many clearly visible colours. Beside this our high-performance materials are also used in minimally invasive surgery - for example as an eyepiece funnel, endoscopy, guides or sliding elements.
Typical parts include
Handels
Cutlery
Housings
Trial implants
Funnels
Guides
Sliding elements
Product examples
The performance and service life of materials used in the healthcare sector are influenced by a variety of factors. When choosing the right material, factors such as surface quality requirements, contact with cleaning agents, disinfectants, dimensions and/or tolerances are essential.

Case Studies
Plastic components for endoscopes
Challenge: Lower weight than previous metal construction so surgeions can operate longer and more delicately
Sustason® PPSU MG was chosen in order to reduce weight
Sterilisation resistance over 1,000 cycles + surface finishing upon customer request
Better feeling as plastic is warmer than metal
Machined in tight tolerances
Different colors available
Handle for surgical instruments
Challenge: Sterilisable, High quality feel and high surface quality, Machined in tight tolerances
SustaPEEK MG was chosen because of his special properties:
Good stability required for manufacture (complex components & tight tolerances)
Dissipative to heat
Good thermal properties
Good chemical resistance
