Medical Industry

VSC has years of experience in providing cast pieces for the medical industry. This concerns components for medical instruments or medical devices. This industry is characterised by the stringent requirements concerning product quality, surfaces and hygiene.

By using the ‘lost wax’ method and its high degree of dimensioning precision, complex medical cast pieces can be produced without post-processing. These components are generally cast in high-value steel alloys so that no corrosion can occur from contact with the human body. Depending on the application, the selected steel alloy must also be able to withstand high temperatures during sterilisation or high loads during use.

If requested, VSC delivers your products ready to build in and so including possible heat treatment, surface coating, processing and/or assembly.

WHEEL CHAIR LOCKING SYSTEM

SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

These surgical forceps are used for medical procedures during an operation. The forceps are composed of 2 grips mounted to each other.

WHEELCHAIR FRAME COMPONENTS

This component is used as a connecting element for assembling a wheelchair’s frame parts. Various profiles are slid onto the pipe-shaped ends and then screwed on tight or welded. By using a cast steel piece, the wheelchair’s strength is guaranteed under all conditions.
