Medical Devices
A medical device is any item that is intended for a medical purpose. Medical devices can be anything from diagnostics and radiography to monitoring and treatment. Some common medical devices are listed below:
- Stethoscopes
- Ventilator parts
- Electrocardiograph (EKG), X-ray, and MRI machines
- Blood pressure monitors
- Catheters
- Stretchers and hospital beds
- Defibrillators
- Prostheses
These devices and associated subcomponents can be machined using various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, PE, PVC, and nylon.
Components in ventilators, EKG, X-ray, and MRI machines, stretchers, hospital beds, and prostheses, can be directly machined via a 5-axis CNC machine, Swiss lathe, or standard CNC milling machine. Other components may require plastic injection molding or plastic extrusion to fabricate parts. In such cases, 5-axis CNC milling or wire EDM can be used to produce plastic injection molding die sets or extrusion die sets.
