Medical technology
A shining contribution
Medical technology is one of the (key) growth markets of the future. Aluminium plays an important role in medical technology innovations. The aluminium solutions from alimex are used in many places. Scarcely any other industry is predicted such growing importance in the future as the health sector and thus also medical technology. Technological progress makes it possible to further improve medical care for people, make use of optimised therapeutic and invasive procedures and further increase life expectancy.
For example, alimex aluminium can be found in the operating table as well as on infusion stands, on holders, in the form of operating elements or device parts. Beyond this - and indirectly, so to speak - alimex aluminium casting solutions also contribute to innovations in medical technology: In special machine and mould construction, they allow the advantages of processability and material that are necessary for the precise manufacture of the ultra-modern products in this segment. Aluminium is also used in clean rooms and component production.
Similar to other technical areas, aluminium is also ideally suited for medical technology applications due to its properties and is increasingly replacing other materials thanks to new alloys and material developments, such as those developed by alimex. The advantages that aluminium offers - lightness combined with stability, good machinability, corrosion resistance and recyclability - make it the material of choice in medical technology.
