Implants & prostheses

Implants & prostheses are used in many parts of the human body. Their properties push conventional measurement systems to their limits. WENZEL therefore uses specialized solutions that are perfectly adapted to the properties of the components.

Implants and prostheses pose many challenges to measurement technology because their location in the human body leaves no room for error. Even the smallest deviations in dimensional accuracy can have serious consequences for the wearer. This is why extremely precise quality control of the components is irreplaceable. Many components have special positions that make tactile measurement impossible.

WENZEL therefore offers with the CORE S a measuring machine that is able to measure highly polished parts, such as artificial knee joints without surface pretreatment, with extremely high accuracy without contact.

With the WM | RS-C The surface structure of implants and prostheses can be examined at the nanoscale. Even highly polished components pose no problem for the two-dimensional white light interferometer.
