The material magic happens at COMPAMED. The exhibitors here combine high-tech materials and top production processes. This is how future biocompatible implants become reality today.
Interview Dr. Stefan Oberhoffner, ITV Denkendorf Produktservice GmbH
We produce and develop also absorbable mesh materials, which can be used for hernia repair, also for breast reconstruction. And these meshes cover a long or a broad degradation profile, and it's not necessary to re-implant them. So the irritation level is very low for the patient, and this is really an advantage.

The right material for the right task. The memory shape alloy nitinol is the key ingredient for flexible yet durable implants.
Interview Florian Kuderna-Jochim, Euroflex GmbH
Of nitinol standard material with a maximum inclusion size of thirty-nine microns, we developed a refinement process on it, so we come down with the inclusion size to ten microns, which is used in the nitinol market for different applications.
Interview Jonas Bartschat, ADMEDES GmbH
One application can be a hardware frame, for example, like this one. And the good material from Euroflex helps us to have the best fatigue life on the final component, which is the best for the patient as well.
Current demand is also, electrospinning. That's a new development we currently do. And, we also have a close look into 3D printing of nitinol, where we are one of the first ones on the market who are actually capable of doing that.
