Life Sciences Graphite Grades


Our graphite materials have been a mainstay in the implantable medical device market for over 40 years. The unique tungsten blended material combines the quality of our high-strength premium graphite with the added benefit of being radiopaque. These qualities make our materials the only choice for manufacturers of replacement joints and mechanical heart valves around the world for pyrocarbon substrates.
