Medicine and pharmaceuticals

High-precision, reliable and clean. Fischer measurement technology for many applications in medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry.

In the medical technology and pharmaceutical industries, precision, reliability and sterility are the measure of all things. Dedicated regulations clearly govern manufacturing processes and approval procedures for medical preparations, specify hygiene standards for carrying out operations or stipulate the handling of sensitive materials such as biocompatible plastics, biological tissues and active pharmaceutical ingredients in research and development facilities. Fischer measurement technology is used when it comes to elementary coatings, for example on implants or medical technology products that need to be durable and safe.

In order to ensure the high demands placed on medical devices and products and their constant, reliable function, measurement technology from Fischer is used in industrial environments – from quality testing of production and incoming goods inspection to the inspection of individual components. Our instruments are also used in research and development applications. Fischer measurement technology guarantees you reliable measurement results for coating thickness measurement, material analysis, and material testing and helps you to comply with specified standards and directives.

Application examples

Implants
Medical devices

For the production of implants, biocompatible materials such as ceramics, titanium, or chromium-cobalt alloys are used. To achieve better compatibility and to protect the implant from bodily fluids, implants are coated, among other things, with traditional silver coatings or photocatalytic titanium oxide coatings. Fischer offers specialized measuring technology for quality controlof these coatings, particularly for coating thickness measurement.

Application Notes and Tutorial Notes

The components of medical devices are subject to extremely strict safety and quality requirements. One example of this is plain bearings, such as those used in high-quality X-ray instruments. The quality of their surfaces is crucial for the proper functioning of the plain bearings. Even the finest hairline cracks impair their smooth movement and therefore the precise alignment of the device.

Fischer offers the optimum measuring technology for these measurement tasks. With our high-resolution measuring devices, you can reliably and precisely detect defects and inhomogeneities on the surfaces of your medical devices.
