High strength-to-weight ratio carbon fiber materials are widely used for medical applications due to x-ray transparency, excellent cosmetic finishes and more, including:
- CT scanner components
- Detector components
- MRI scanners
- Surgical target devices and tools
- Prosthetics
- Orthotics (anterior foot, podiatric correcting in-soles, braces)
- Walking aids and wheelchair
The benefits of carbon fiber materials include:
X-Ray Transparency
Carbon fiber prepregs are specifically engineered to allow x-ray transparency while maintaining the inherent light weight and strength of composite materials.
Excellent Dampening and Shock Attenuation
Carbon fiber composites maintain their stiffness and rigidity while providing exceptional damping.
Cosmetic Finish
Carbon Fiber materials for the medical market are designed to provide a high-quality, long-lasting surface finish.
Suitable for Steam Sterilization
Carbon Fiber composite materials are designed to withstand a lifetime of steam sterilization cycles.
