Rösler Group showcases advanced surface technologies for medical devices at Medical Technology Ireland

The Rösler Group will be showcasing its leading mass prefabrication and blasting technologies at Medical Technology Ireland 2024. These technologies play a critical role in the manufacture of medical devices, ensuring the highest standards of safety, reliability and performance. The event will take place on September 25-26, 2024 at Galway Racecourse and Rösler will be on stand 217.

In the field of medical technology, precision and quality are of paramount importance as the components manufactured directly impact patient outcomes and the functionality of critical medical tools. Rösler has perfected its technologies over eight decades and offers customized solutions that ensure manufacturers’ products not only meet but exceed stringent regulatory requirements.

Colin Spellacy, Sales Director at Rösler, says, “In an industry where the margin for error is non-existent, our mass finishing and shot blasting solutions offer unparalleled precision and reliability. These processes are integral to ensuring that medical devices achieve the necessary surface integrity, which is crucial for patient safety and product efficacy. Our presence at Medical Technology Ireland underscores our commitment to providing the best finishing technologies that help our clients deliver top-quality medical devices.”

Rösler’s mass prefabrication technology is characterized by its ability to process a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics and plastics commonly used in medical devices. This versatility is particularly important for complex geometries such as orthopaedic implants and surgical instruments. Through processes such as mass finishing, vibratory grinding and centrifugal grinding, Rösler ensures that even the most complex parts are treated evenly, eliminating surface imperfections that could harbor bacteria or cause discomfort.

The precision of Rösler’s mass finishing technology is particularly beneficial when producing surfaces that are critical for implantable devices or those that come into direct contact with patients. By carefully deburring, grinding, smoothing and polishing, these technologies not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal of medical components, but also ensure that they meet the highest safety and functional standards.

Spellacy continues, “As the medical industry increasingly turns to additive manufacturing, our AM Solutions division is proud to offer best-in-class finishing technologies that address the unique challenges of AM parts. From surface smoothing to precision polishing, our solutions guarantee that every component is fit for its intended use in the healthcare sector.”

Blasting plays an essential role in the preparation and finishing of medical devices. This process is crucial for cleaning, structuring and strengthening surfaces, making it ideal for surgical instruments and implants. By using high-speed abrasive particles, blasting ensures that components are free of contaminants, have optimal surface properties and are structurally sound.

Rösler’s AM Solutions division is a leader in finishing technology for additively manufactured parts. As 3D printing becomes more prevalent in medical technology, the need for advanced post-processing solutions is greater than ever. AM Solutions offers state-of-the-art technologies that ensure additively manufactured parts meet the same stringent quality standards as traditionally manufactured components.

Rösler and AM Solutions invite visitors to Medical Technology Ireland to visit stand 217 to learn more about how the company’s surface technologies can improve the quality and reliability of medical devices. With a long tradition of innovation and a strong commitment to quality, Rösler continues to set the standard in surface technology for the medical sector.
