Application of Aluminum in Medical Equipment Manufacturing

In medical equipment, the use of lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and sterilizable materials is essential. Aluminum profiles, thanks to their combination of these properties, are widely used in the production of various medical devices and structures.

Common Applications of Aluminum Profiles in Medical Equipment:

  • Frames for radiology and ultrasound machines

  • Hospital bed bases and supports

  • Stretchers and patient transport equipment

  • Frames for clinical cabinets and fixtures

  • IV stands, wheelchairs, walkers, and other rehabilitation aids
