Precision casting is used on a large scale, one of its applications is the ability to produce “Near Net Shape” parts of alloys that are difficult to cast. In addition to aerospace industry, many industries is using investment castings to save time and money. Medical industry is no exception. Today, one of the most important applications of precision casting in the medical industry is for the production of prostheses. Sanat Gostar is proud to be one of the leading manufacturers in producing implants and prostheses in Iran. One of our top medical products is knee replacement implant.
Knee Replacement Implants Investment Casting
We can produce medical equipment with a wide range of specifications and capabilities. We also cast ASTM F75 alloy with grade A quality. ASTM F75 is an alloy with a combination of cobalt chromium molybdenum (CoCrMo), which is known for its unique properties such as strength and wear-resistance.
Sanat Gostar also has the ability to cast superalloys, which includes products in the healthcare industry. There is a great demand in this particular category. One of these important products is knee implants.
Sanat Gostar uses the latest equipment & technologies such as rapid prototyping with precise quality control to meet customer’s needs. One of our products that contacts with people individually is knee implants such as the femoral knee component and the tibial knee component. Our participation in the casting of knee femoral components to replace the knee joints is one our greatest honor, because we know that we play an important role in helping many people in our country to walk in comfort again.
While cartilage damage is the most common reason for surgery and knee replacement, rheumatoid arthritis, metabolic diseases, congenital or acquired abnormalities, as well as other common injuries can be reasons for surgery and replacement of the knee joint with prostheses.
Today, 95% of the knee implants in the world are made of chromium cobalt, because it is significantly wear-resistant.
The knee prosthesis consists of two metal parts: the femoral component of the knee (upper part of the implant) and the tibial tray or tibial component of the knee (lower part).
As you can see, the femoral and tibial components of the knee are ideal for investment casting due to the design and alloys used.
