Medical implants are a crucial aspect of modern healthcare, providing a wide range of patients with an improved quality of life.
As the demand for medical implants increases, manufacturers are being asked to meet ever-higher standards of surface finish and profile accuracy. To meet this demand, Kemet International Ltd has developed and automated Precision Surface Finishing Processes, specifically for the Medical Industry. In this article, we will take a detailed look at the Kemet Process Development Laboratories and their latest development, the KemiSphere II. We will also explore the Kemet Tibial Polishing Cell and the benefits that these technologies can offer to medical implant manufacturers.
The Kemet Process Development Laboratories have been successfully developing Special Purpose Polishing Machines for a wide range of Medical Implants. These machines are designed to meet the specific needs of medical implant manufacturers, providing them with high-quality, precise surface finishes that meet the demands of the industry.
The KemiSphere II is the latest development from Kemet and is a bench-top spherical/ball lapper/polisher. This machine is specifically designed to lap and polish spherical forms to better than five microns roundness with a mirror finish. The machine uses a simple 2 stage process that is both reliable and repeatable. The KemiSphere II can process all joint sizes and materials up to 60mm in diameter (or 100mm with the floor standing version). It can also easily be adapted for other round parts.
The Kemet Tibial Polishing Cell has been specifically developed for finishing large production quantities of replacement knee parts, such as Tibial Trays. A typical cell contains Kemet Smoothing, Polishing, and Cleaning Systems. The cell provides a fully automated solution for polishing medical implants, allowing manufacturers to achieve high-quality finishes while also reducing costs and increasing production speeds.
Manufacturers who choose Kemet Polishing Systems can benefit from improved product quality, greatly reduced costs, and faster production speeds. The Kemet Polishing Systems are designed to meet the specific needs of the medical implant industry, providing manufacturers with a reliable and repeatable process for finishing medical implants.
Kemet’s commitment to customer satisfaction is reflected in the company’s policy of carrying out all process development work for customers free of charge. This means that manufacturers can work with Kemet to develop and optimise polishing processes for their specific needs, without incurring any additional costs.
