Know About Fabrication of Implants

The orthopedic implants manufacturers deploy many of the metal-working methods for trauma implants manufacturing. A brief account of the fabrication process of some implants follows.

An orthopedic bone screw is manufactured by very precise procedures from titanium or steel rod with a diameter of at least the width of a cannulation at this step, which is added by gun drilling. Gun drilling is an exact process with minimum variation from the required dimensions. The special drill contains a central channel for cooling fluid delivery as well as for removal of metallic debris. The next step in screw production includes machining of the threads. The cutting flutes are cut on a Lathe/ CNC Turning Centre or a SPM. In the bone head drilling and punching with a hexagonal tool is done to make recess for Screw Driver.
