Medical engineering

Biomedical engineering merges engineering knowledge with the challenges of medicine and biology.

It is mainly dedicated to the design and manufacture of health products and technologies such as medical equipment, prostheses, medical devices, etc.

The most common operations in which abrasives are used in this sector are:

• Finished in prosthesis and artificial joints.
• Polishing and grinding of implants and medical instruments.
• Sharpening of scissors and scalpels.
• Grinding of hypodermic needles / cannulas.

Etorki has grinding solutions, with conventional and CBN grinding wheels, as well as high frequency spindles that are used in the manufacture by micro-decolletage of implants for the medical sector.
