How are the instruments used in the medical technology field different from conventional precision tools?
Medical technology requires special tools. On the one hand, they are characterized by the highest standards of precision and process reliability and, on the other hand, by very small structural dimensions (e.g. micro-cutting tools for endoscopes, connecting screws, tooth implants). Which materials are used in the medical technology sector? Primarily, the materials used are titanium, biocompatible ceramics (zirconia ceramic) and polymers.
