03.3 / Industries / IMP
Implantable devices
Fluid control inside the body without a pump to fail, a battery to drain or a motor to wear out.
The problem
Inside an implant every cubic millimeter and every milliamp-hour counts. Pumps take both, and when one fails the fix is surgery.
What we do
We design flow paths that run on surface chemistry alone and pick coating systems that suit implant-grade silicone, polymers and metals. Our role covers design, bench prototypes and the manufacturing documentation your quality system needs.
