Metal analysis for the medical industry

Industrialists in the medical field, you wish to analyse your metals

Metals (and alloys) are particularly used in the medical field for various applications including

  • implants (e.g. dental),
  • cardiac stents,
  • joint and bone replacements,
  • surgical tools, etc.

These are composed of stainless steel, copper, titanium, chromium and cobalt, aluminium and magnesium

Why analyse your medical metals?

The medical field is particularly and strictly regulated. Indeed, residues (cleaning, heavy metals, treatments, etc.) can persist on the surface of materials making them highly toxic.

Thus, the analysis of your medical metals by a specialised laboratory is an essential step for the marketing of your metals.
