Medical Technology

SIGRADUR® glassy carbon is resistant to biological systems and has excellent compatibility with blood and tissue. Its good mechanical properties at low densities, its high purity, and its biocompatibility, make SIGRADUR® glassy carbon a beneficial material for medical technology and biotechnology. SIGRADUR® glassy carbon also has high X-ray transmission properties due to its low atomic number, which is important for applications in medical radiotechnology.
