Mini case studies

Mini case study 1 Lighter product weight and improved functionality.

Our Proposal
Change metal parts to Sumiploy CK4600 (carbon fiber reinforced PEEK)
Result
Improved product weight and X-ray permeability

  • External fixator
  • Changing material to Sumiploy CK4600 (carbon fiber reinforced PEEK), which boasts excellent mechanical strength, has made it possible to achieve weight reductions without sacrificing strength.

Mini case study 2 Improved steam resistance and transparency.

Our Proposal
Use PES (polyether sulfone) as the material for a sterile case cover
Result
Improved steam resistance and provided the ability to see into the case

  • Cover
  • Using PES (polyether sulfone), an amorphous plastic with excellent steam resistance, improved durability when used in sterile applications and also improved working efficiency by allowing the user to see into the case.
