Significance and Use of Precious Metals in Medical Engineering
Precious metal-bearing semi-finished products and intermediate materials are particularly important in medical engineering, as they offer high purity, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Precious metals such as gold, platinum, or silver are used in implants, medical sensors, electrodes, as well as in diagnostic and laboratory systems.
They are frequently used in production as special alloys, coated components, or finely processed wires and foils. Their reliable electrical and chemical properties contribute to the safety and longevity of medical devices.
Medical engineering generates production residues with particularly high precious metal content
Due to the high material values, recycling and recovery of precious metal-containing production residues, excess inventory, or production scrap plays an important role in medical engineering.
