Working with medical equipment and implant manufacturers for over three decades, Nitrex has developed process- and application-specific know-how to help medical manufacturers achieve process optimization in manufacturing, as well as ensure that heat-treated implants, tooling, and medical equipment meet or exceed performance and design expectations from the most stringent certification agencies in the world.

Nitrex experts are always available to work with medical tool specialists and implant experts to develop new solutions that will support an aging and more active population that requires less invasive surgery and state of the art products to maintain their active lifestyle.

There are four ways in which implants and tooling for the medical industry are made:

• Machine milled or drilled
• Casting – molten metal is poured into a mold
• Forged – metal is shaped into its final form with the use of forces such as bending or hammering
• Additive manufacturing

All these processes require heat treating, and Nitrex can provide the required expertise to meet the most stringent industry requirements and certification standards.
