Examples of technologies utilized in the medical and prosthetics industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing is utilized in the manufacture of prosthetic limbs and orthotics to achieve both lightweight and high strength. In particular, CFRP is used in the manufacture of frames and supports for prosthetic legs and hands, orthopedic braces, and rehabilitation equipment to ensure high durability while reducing the burden on the wearer. CFRP also has excellent corrosion resistance and vibration absorption properties, enabling stable performance over long periods of use and in harsh environments. The high degree of freedom in processing and the ability to design and customize shapes to suit the patient are key features of this material.

樹脂3Dプリント

Resin 3D Printing

Resin 3D printing is used in diverse medical and orthotic fields, including prosthetic hands and feet, assistive devices, mouthpieces, and dental models. The ability to design products that are lightweight and fit the shape of each patient, and the rapid prototyping and fitting process are major advantages for the medical field.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal processing technology is used in the manufacture of prosthetic limb devices to produce metal parts that require strength and precision. It is employed in the processing and manufacturing of orthotic joints, supports, and prosthetic limb frames, which are fabricated from lightweight, high-strength materials such as stainless steel and aluminum. Through processes such as cutting, bending, and welding, they can be shaped to provide both functionality and safety, and they also offer advantages in terms of hygiene and durability.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting is an indispensable process for manufacturing high-precision and strong metal and plastic parts in the production of prosthetic limbs and orthotics. It is mainly used in the manufacture of joint parts for prosthetic hands and feet, as well as adjustment mechanisms for orthotic devices. Cutting has the advantage that it can process a wide range of materials such as aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, and POM, as well as accommodate minute shapes and tight tolerances on machining centers and lathes. As a result, it is widely used as a highly reliable processing technology in fields where high safety and durability are required.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of prosthetic devices to mass produce lightweight, high-precision plastic parts. Typical examples of parts produced by injection molding are external covers for prosthetic hands and feet, and joint parts for orthotic devices. Injection molding can also be used to manufacture hygienic and safe products by using engineering plastics with excellent chemical resistance, heat resistance, and biocompatibility. In addition, the reduction in the number of parts through integrated molding leads to improved production efficiency and cost reductions.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method in which materials are plastically deformed below their recrystallization temperature. It is characterized by an increase in material strength due to work hardening. Because of its importance in increasing the strength of medical and prosthetic parts, it is widely used in the manufacture of prosthetic parts. Cold working is an effective means of satisfying these requirements, even as the demand for precise and safe parts that conform to the patient's body continues to grow. Furthermore, it can also be utilized to process highly biocompatible (compatible for use in the human body) materials such as titanium and stainless steel.

  • Welding Process

  • Vacuum molding

  • Grinding process

We offer a diverse range of technologies, including

Examples of materials utilized in the medical and prosthetics industry

  • Titanium Alloys

    Titanium alloy is a very important material in the manufacture of prosthetic devices. Its greatest feature is that it is lightweight yet strong and has excellent durability to withstand long-term use. It is also highly "biocompatible," meaning that it is unlikely to cause rejection when used inside the body, and is widely used in implant products such as artificial joints and bone-jointing plates. Because of its high resistance to corrosion and wear, it is also widely used in the joints and supports of prosthetic hands and feet, enabling stable long-term use while reducing the burden on the wearer.

  • CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)

    CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a material with features of light weight and high strength, making it suitable for manufacturing parts for prosthetic devices. Specifically, CFRP is widely used in prosthetic leg and hand frames, supports, orthopedic devices, and rehabilitation equipment, significantly reducing the burden on the wearer. It also has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance, and has earned a high degree of reliability in the field of use. Another advantage is the high degree of freedom in design, which allows for individualized and complex shapes with flexibility.

  • engineering plastics

    Engineering plastics are high-performance resins with excellent heat, wear, and chemical resistance, and are widely used in prosthetic and medical device components. Typical materials include POM (polyacetal), PEEK, and PA (nylon), which are characterized by high strength while being lightweight. For this reason, they are utilized for moving parts and joints of artificial limbs and arms. They are also easier to process than metals and have superior quietness and sliding properties, contributing to improved comfort for the wearer.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

The key to success in manufacturing parts for prosthetics and orthotics

High-precision machining and dimensional control

High-precision machining and strict dimensional control are essential in the manufacture of parts for prosthetic limbs and orthotics. Moving parts of prosthetic hands and feet, as well as artificial joints, often require micron-level accuracy, which directly affects fit, movement performance, and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to use high-precision processing machines such as machining centers and NC lathes, and to have a system to strictly check dimensions using CMMs and image inspection equipment.

Quality control system to ensure hygiene and safety

In the manufacture of prosthetic device components, a manufacturing system based on strict quality control standards is required to ensure hygiene and safety. Specifically, a quality management system for medical devices such as ISO13485 must be implemented to ensure thorough hygiene control throughout the entire process from design to manufacturing and shipping.

Highly customizable to the patient's needs

The manufacture of prosthetic and orthotic components requires customization to suit the physique and symptoms of each individual user. In particular, prosthetic hands, feet, and orthotic devices require adjustments on a millimeter-by-millimeter basis, as the fit and range of motion directly affect the user's life. In recent years, the use of 3D scanning, CAD design, and 3D printing technologies has made it possible to produce precise custom-made parts with short delivery times. By providing products optimized for individual needs, it is possible to create high-quality orthotics that improve comfort and functionality and withstand long-term use.
