Compounds from RTP Company can be specifically formulated to provide strength, durability, wear resistance, and more for surgical robotics systems,monitors, and instruments.
RTP Company offers thermoplastic technologies that can be utilised for surgical robotic systems, with special properties such as strength, flame retardance, wear/chemical/impact resistance, colour, and the ability to withstand sterilisation methods.
The company says if required, biocompatibility support can be provided for many of these compounds.
These materials are suitable for robotic systems and housings; monitor components like housings, bezels, bases, and tool holders; reusable instruments such as single-use tools and medical staplers.
“Surgical robots are becoming more prevalent because they are minimally invasive and precisely accurate, which helps the patient recover more quickly,” explains Bob Williams, Global Healthcare Manager at RTP Company.
“RTP Company engineers have been assisting the medical industry with material solutions for over 35 years. We are passionate about helping robotic designers find the right materials for surgical robotic systems and components.”
