Tech Etch: Implants Get Precision Etching
Plymouth, MA — Precision compo- nent etching of materials used in medical implants is performed using Tech-Etch’s photochemical machin-
ed medical devices. Polyimide is etched to produce haptics for intraoc- ular lens implants in cataract sur- gery and other corrective implants.
Finely etched parts for medical implants.
ing process. The process produces intricate components from specialty materials used in medical implants and implantable devices. Nitinol is used for stents and surgical fixation applications. Because Titanium is inert and
completely biocompatible, it is used in maxillofacial and craniofacial reconstruction plates, as well as anode and cathode battery current collectors and telemetry antennas found in implanted medical devices. Elgiloy is employed for stiffener bands in high fatigue applications. Because Tungsten is extremely dense, 71 percent heavier than lead, it is used for grids to collimate and attenuate stray x-rays in CT scan- ners, as well as ID tags for implant-
Tech-Etch also manufactures
custom flexible printed circuits found in implanted cardio defibrillators, pacemakers and neurostimulation devices. Parts range in thickness from
0.0005-in. (0.013mm) and up. While providing quick turnaround and low tooling costs, photo etching produces burr-free parts with intricate and complex shapes. Designs can be proved in preproduction quantities without having to commit to expen- sive tooling. Laminating, plating, heat treating, and assembly are
offered in-house. Contact: Tech-Etch, Inc., 45
