Trauma Targeting & Fixation Devices
AIP has immense in-house experience with the manufacture of very complex and unique targeting and fixation devices from various forms of carbon reinforced radio-lucent biomaterials. These materials have proven to be challenging to machine even for seasoned shops due to the unpredictable nature of some of the materials. Our in house computer controlled annealing processes coupled with our over 30 years of experience machining these materials is the solution for you to remove this headache from your list of headaches.
AIP becomes part of your engineering and product development team with a dedicated project engineer assigned to manage your product and any interface between our two companies. Your project engineer can assist you from manufacturing perspective with GDT for functional use, whether it is the assistance in determining the correct use of projected tolerance zones for functional validity to helping design the part for manufacture or cost reduction, we will become part of your team.
Please contact us to discuss prior success stories with other OEMS and how we can assure your product the same success.
The Radio-lucent nature and dimensional stability of carbon fiber filled materials makes these materials ideally suited for targeting and fixation. AIP has perfected the science of machining these challenging materials to exacting tolerances not to mention reining-in the un-predictable movement nature of some carbon filled PEEK materials during machining. Resulting in complex geometries to near perfect positional tolerances while maintaining autoclave stability for thousands of cycles. The radio-lucency and light weight of these ISO 10993 bio-compatible materials has proven great advantages to the surgeon using these devices such as clearly defined imaging even while working behind or below the radio-lucent retractor system during MIS or percutaneous procedures.
Our company is ISO 13485:2003 registered and has been audited by some of the most stringent OEMs in the othropaedic and medical industry.
Materials such as Tecanyl MT, RADEL R-PPSU, ULTEM-PEI, and PEEK can outperform metals in continuous steam and harsh European sterilization environments. The wear-resistance of Torlon, Vespel, and PEEK makes these materials ideal candidates for pump rollers, slide guides and bushings for internal wear components within medical equipment.
We offer precision machining of: ULTEM-PEI®, Celazole-PBI®, Ryton-PPS®, Vespel-PI®, Torlon-PAI®, Techtron-PPS®, RADEL-PPSU®, Polysulfone-PSU®, KEL-F®, PEEK®, Duratron®, KYNAR -PVDF®, Propylux HS2, TecaPRO MT, Tecanyl MT, TecaTec PEKK CW60, Orthtek, UHMW-PE, and many more
