Medical precision components

At Mifa Aluminium we can offer precision extrusion, machining, surface treatments and finishing – all under one roof. Therefore we can produce entire medical components out of aluminium and magnesium, and take full responsibility for the delivered parts. 

We differentiate us from the competition by applying a high standard for precision, quality and design freedom.

High volume production for the medical market

At Mifa, we can start extruding from as little as 10 kg, making it suitable for both prototypes and small production runs. However, we are also capable of large-scale production by setting up complete production lines, including post-processing such as CNC machining, surface treatments, and assembly.

As a medical component manufacturer, Mifa also offers fully automated solutions for high-volume production through the use of robots and designated cells. An automated cell combines precision, speed, and reliability. Robots work alongside advances machines, resulting in a streamlined and stable production process. This not only enhances efficiency but also ensures consistent quality standards for our precision extrusion profiles.

The benefits of fully established production lines include a fast development and testing phase, cost savings, design improvements, and process optimisation.

Profiles for various medical applications

Mifa’s precision profiles play a vital role in medical component manufacturing, with their integration differing significantly across various applications. Here are some examples of these applications:

  • Medical imaging devices;
  • Smart wearables for real time monitoring;
  • Endoscopy and laparoscopy instruments;
  • Diagnostics;
  • Ventilation & anaesthesia equipment;
  • Patient handling systems;
  • Infusion pumps;
  • Orthopaedics;
  • Wheelchairs.

Medical precision component for a prominent healthcare company

B|Braun, a leading manufacturer of medical and pharmaceutical devices with a presence in 64 countries, is among the most prominent companies in the healthcare industry.

A prime example of B|Braun’s high-quality medical equipment is its line of infusion pumps, such as the Perfusor® Space. These devices are essential for administering medication, nutrition, and even blood transfusions.

In developing the Perfusor® Space, B|Braun sought a compact and lightweight solution. Thanks to dimensional tolerances of ±0.02 mm, as well as straightness and torsion levels three times more precise than those specified by the EN12020-2 standard, we successfully met their stringent requirements. You can explore the full details of this case study here.

Precision extrusion for design freedom

Our advanced precision technology and precise dimensional tolerances offer design freedom – making it ideal for medical precision components where attention to detail and quality take center stage.

Sustainable lightweight profiles for medical precision components

Beyond design flexibility, our lightweight, thin-walled profiles offer significant advantages. They contribute to lower fuel consumption during transport and optimised material usage in production, enhancing cost efficiency while promoting sustainability. In facts, these profiles can achieve material savings of up to 33%.

Thin-walled profiles are particularly valuable for medical component manufacturing such as surgical instruments and diagnostic equipment. Their lightweight nature and high accuracy ensure superior performance, while their efficient material usage supports cost-effectiveness and sustainability in medical device production.

 

Calculate the CO2 emissions of your extrusion profile

With the current sustainable developments in various markets – as well as the medical market – the calculation of CO2 emissions is becoming more important. Working closely with our engineers, we have created a specialised tool for the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of our aluminium extrusion profiles. This tool calculates the CO2 emissions and illustrates the effect of co-engineering in diminishing the CO2 footprint – by for example creating thin-walled profiles.
