Flexible shaft

metalhollowfor medical applications

Especially in the field of medical engineering, the flexible shaft plays an important role in the implementation of technical requirements. In surgery, gastroscopy, traumatology and laparoscopy, as well as in endoscopy, devices are used whose design can only be realised thanks to flexible shafts. These include flexible intramedullary reamers, flexible screw drivers, flexible drills and milling cutters, biopsy forceps, endoscopes and ancillary endoscopic equipment. With our flexible shafts, we have been at home in the world of medical engineering for over 20 years. As advancements are made in the field of minimally invasive surgery, flexible shafts are playing an increasingly important role. They can be used to transmit movements and forces reliably, even via complex pathways. In addition, our hollow shafts allow surgeons to feed electrical current or laser light directly to the site of the operation using cables or optical fibres passed through the shaft. Advantages Our products are, of course, suitable for the usual sterilisation procedures. Furthermore, we only allow selected suppliers, specially approved for this sector, to supply us with products for this field of use. If the customer wishes, all working steps are carefully documented and additional intermediate tests are performed. These tests are then recorded in a detailed testing log. Other fields of application Motorised systems used in dental technology and various fields of surgery would also be inconceivable without flexible shafts.
