Pokolm Premiumtools has the right tool systems for the medical technology industry.

Medical technology plays a crucial role in the development and production of high-precision systems and medical devices used to diagnose, treat and monitor patients.

Due to high precision requirements, strict regulatory specifications and the use of modern technologies, medical technology makes a significant contribution to improving the quality of life of sick or healthy people.

From toolmaking to medical products, high demands are placed on material processing, precision and quality assurance. Innovative manufacturing technologies and specialized processes are required to meet these challenges.

In the manufacture of implants, for example, the metals used must not only be corrosion-resistant and compatible with the human body, but tight tolerances and strict testing procedures are also required to ensure the highest safety and functional standards.

The high-quality materials used in implants such as bone screws, knee prostheses and housings for pacemakers and the complex manufacturing processes also lead to high costs.

Bone screw

A bone screw is a medical implant that is used to fix bone fractures or to stabilize implants in the skeletal system. It is usually made of titanium or stainless steel, as these materials are biocompatible and corrosion-resistant. These high-strength materials make machining more difficult and require special tools. A precise surface quality is essential for high wear resistance. Residue-free production and cleaning are necessary to avoid infections.

Pacemaker

The housing of a pacemaker protects the sensitive electronics and the energy source of the device. It is usually made of titanium, as this material is biocompatible, corrosion-resistant and lightweight. However, the low thermal conductivity and high strength of titanium makes the material difficult to machine, which requires special tools and cooling strategies. The housing must be manufactured with absolute precision to ensure a hermetic seal so that no liquids can penetrate and the sensitive electronics are protected.

Knee prosthesis

A knee prosthesis is an artificial joint replacement that is used to restore mobility in cases of severe cartilage damage or osteoarthritis. The implant consists of metal and plastic components for the sliding surfaces. The high-strength materials used, such as titanium or cobalt-chrome alloys, make machining difficult and lead to high tool wear. Only a precise adaptation of the prosthesis to the patient's individual anatomy enables pain-free and functional use of the knee joint.

We meet the high demands of medical technology with excellent products and consulting services.
