Hamilton Precision Metals and SMP Wallingford, two of the six business that comprise AMETEK Specialty Metal Products (SMP), have added two new Titanium strip grades to their product portfolio for medical applications.
The companies claim the new grades, 9 and 23, allows for manufacturing of smaller devices that enable safe, external re-charging for a range of neuromodulation and neurostimulation therapy applications.
Having developed a proprietary production process for both Ti grades, the two AMETEK facilities are now able to produce a thin strip that ultimately offers external charging capabilities for implanted medical devices when incorporated to the external shell. This new production technology involves a cold rolling and annealing process that yields titanium strip with outstanding microstructure characteristics and formability properties.
Hamilton and SMP Wallingford will be exhibiting at the MD&M West on 5 February at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
Matt Lappen, product manager for SMP Strip Business, said: “Our new Titanium strip grade products are set to make a major contribution to the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, sleep apnea and chronic pain without the use of opioids. We’re very excited to be a part of this ground-breaking therapeutic advance.
