Understandably, medical applications typically have higher standards than traditional commercial or industrial applications. CMI’s experience in manufacturing military components marries our fabrication capabilities with demand for high quality, often tightly toleranced product, to the documentation and material traceability requirements. This makes CMI an easy choice when qualifying a fabricator for medical components.

Since the bulk of our manufacturing capabilities supports the fabrication of plastics and composites, their unique properties make them excellent candidates for medical equipment applications. Their high strength to weight ratios allows them to replace traditional metallic components for patient handling or in CT devices. Their non-magnetic properties make them excellent choices in areas with high magnetic fields such as in MRI equipment. X-ray equipment benefits from the low X-ray attenuating properties of some specific grades.
