Buehler assists customers that work with a wide array of medical materials which include shape memory alloys, ceramics, stainless steels, polymers, titanium and nitinol in various stages of manufacturing. These materials may be coated to increase wear resistance, reduce corrosion, or to enhance bonding while reducing the body’s chance for post surgical infection and implant rejection. It is imperative that all coatings remain intact and free of damage when preparing a sample for microanalysis. Buehler provides the preparation equipment, image analysis system, consumables and methodology to analyze your specimens. Many prominent hospital and research institutions do work with thin sections for micro-radiography or for microstructure studies. With our equipment you can prepare a biomaterial containing an implant, 100 microns or less, with Buehler’s knowledgeable technical support. Additionally, degeneration or regeneration of bone, penetration of tumors and the like, or ingrowths of tissue into porous implants may be observed for information.
