Metals for Medical Applications That Are Critical in the Design and Development of Medical Devices

Special metals are critical in the design and development of medical devices. Ulbrich has been the industry leader in the production of Titanium, Nitinol, Niobium, Copper and Tantalum Alloys. Our ability to roll light gauge strip in narrow widths and produce shaped wire products in hundreds of specialty alloys, positions us as a one-stop source for a wide variety of medical alloys.

Applications and Alloys:

Titanium

Implants, Neuro- Stimulators, Orthopedic Rods, Pins and Plates, Heart Valve Housings, Prosthetic Eyes, Surgical Instruments, Drills, Forceps, Retractors, Scissors and Needles

Niobium

Pacemakers

Tantalum

Bone Implants, Vascular Clips, Flexible Stents

Nitinol
