sct ceramics ceramic-to-metal brazing technology for aimd active implantable medical devices

Manufacturing for the medical industry

We work with our clients to ensure that our hermetic, ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs will meet or exceed the standards of the medical industry and help provide the best patient care possible.

Certification AFNOR

For two decades, our strict Quality Management System has guided our development and operational procedures. We conduct IQ, OQ and PQ phases and implement statistical process control (SPC) to ensure a smooth transition from design prototype to high-volume manufacturing.

Implantable Feedthroughs for innovative technologies

miniaturized ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs for cochlear implants

Developing brazed, ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs for innovative devices such as totally implantable cochlear implants requires suppliers with skillsets in miniaturization and material science. Our R&D and Engineering services produce some of the most precise and reliable feedthroughs found on the market, using our very own biocompatible advanced ceramic formula, (ALUCER®) and zirconia-based ceramics. 

Our quality assurance

As a proud supplier of implantable feedthroughs for the cochlear implants market, we strive for a quality thats systematically in line with our customer’s expecations and ensure our components uphold their unique specifications.

100% of our brazed assemblies are inspected according to the most important criteria:

  • Leak test for hermeticity
  • Electric tests
  • Thermal Shock
  • Dimension Inspection (random sampling, AQL standards)
