Over the last decade, the technological progression of implantable medical devices has been extraordinary. Implantable electrical devices such as pacemakers, cardiovascular defibrillators, implantable multichannel neuromuscular stimulators and cochlear implants have become widely accepted and used.

Ceramaret GmbH (formerly MicroCeram GmbH), based in Meissen, Germany, has been active for over 20 years in the manufacture of innovative technical ceramics in growth markets.

Recommended by many dentists and preferred by patients, ceramic dental implants offer much better cytotoxicological, histological and biochemical properties than those made from titanium.

High strength and hardness, excellent thermal stability, good corrosion resistance and low density: this unique combination of properties makes silicon nitride (Si3N4) the ideal material for numerous industrial applications across divers sectors such as automotive, electronics and biomedical.
