Glass and Ceramics for Medical Applications

Ceramics hold two distinctive properties that make them especially well-suited for medical applications. Cutting tools comprised of ceramics have the ability to hold an edge for a long time, making them ideal for extended surgical procedures. The second characteristic is their lack of heat absorption. Ceramic probe tips can be wrapped in a heating element in order to cauterize arteries and veins.

In addition to ceramics, IRD Glass can custom manufacture a variety of counting pots, separating chambers, and medical slides for laboratory settings. For more information on their glass and ceramic offerings for medical applications, contact IRD Glass.
