Medical surroundings require components that fulfil the highest hygiene standards. Our plain bearings and energy supply systems made of a high-performance plastic are exactly the right choice here. With their solid lubricants incorporated in the plastic material, our bearings are clean and quiet, corrosion-resistant and completely maintenance-free. They are successfully used in X-ray robots, laboratory equipment, treatment chairs, hospital beds and prostheses. Our quiet and low-vibration energy chains ensure safe energy supply even in confined spaces, for example in operating theatres, rehabilitation systems and diagnostic imaging. We also have cleanroom-compatible models up to ISO Class 1 in our product range.
What exactly are PFAS and why are they so popular in the consumer sector and in industry, especially in medical technology? Why is there an impending EU-wide ban and what can companies do now?
The white paper sheds light on these questions and shows how igus, as a plastics processor, can counter the planned restriction at an early stage and offer its customers PTFE-free and PFAS-tested alternatives.
All products are tested for wear and load-bearing capacity under real-life conditions in the igus test laboratory, the largest in the industry. The results are incorporated into our online tools for calculating service life, which provides you with accurate predictions of durability. The test stands also include a cleanroom laboratory where, with the support of the Fraunhofer IPA, we can quickly develop particle-free products suitable for cleanrooms up to Class 1 air purity.
Upon request, we also carry out customer tests to check the use of the products under very specific conditions.
