Production of frame parts for artificial knee prosthetics from titanium
alloys.
Objectives
Develop the construction and production technology of frame parts
for artificial knee prosthetics from titanium alloys.
Produce a pilot lot of these parts according to engineering requirements
of the Ortho Europe.
Create 25 new jobs
Summary
This project involves manufacture of new titanium prosthetic knee products by the Sarov company
JSC 'Titan'. This company is a part of the VNIIEF Conversia and located at the Sarov techno-park.
JSC 'Titan' specialises in development and production of Titanium component parts for modular
orthopaedic appliances, including prosthetics. Titanium can be a suitable fabrication material and
has the added advantage that it is rarely rejected when used in contact with human tissue.
JSC 'Titan' has access to titanium, related fabrication expertise and orthopaedics production
experience.
Cost
Total cost of the project is £110,000. The DECC is funding a contribution of
