Top performance in titanium: Micro Diver impresses in the medical sector
Expertise and flexibility – both are essential when there are problems to solve. And both are characteristics that make Gühring a strong partner for the medical technology sector.
And this was also clear in the case of hg medical: Where conventional tools quickly reach their limits when it comes to wear, a Gühring micro-precision milling cutter with adapted carbide roughs and slots for 1100 minutes in titanium.
In the medical technology sector, it is considered the “super material”: grade 5 titanium (Ti6Al4V). Implants made from this material are extremely resistant without feeling heavy inside the body. The material is biocompatible, does not cause reactions or allergies, does not corrode and is not magnetic. For all these reasons, hg medical also relies on grade 5 titanium. The medical technology manufacturer from Raisting (in Upper Bavaria, Germany) manufactures 95 percent of its components from the super material, including various bone plates, bone screws and implants for orthopaedic and general surgery.
