| 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.

| Buehler offers a full line of abrasive and precision
sectioning saws and wafering blades each designed to perform a specific
function. Choosing the proper blade is important to obtain an excellent
surface on biomaterial, ferrous materials or non metallic materials. Once
your specimen is properly sectioned and mounted choose from our full line of
grinders/polishers that can be fully automated to meet the most demanding
laboratory requirements. Whether it is microstructure analysis, hardness
testing, image capture or full image analysis, Buehler can meet your
requirements with our OmniMet® Image Analysis System. |
