NIPPON PISTON RING CO., LTD. Company Profile

We are pleased to announce that we have commenced joint technical discussions with Professor Noriyuki Kusamori and his laboratory from the Department of Functional Materials Science at Sophia University, who specialize in biomaterials for advanced medical technologies, regarding our medical new material titanium-tantalum alloy 'NiFreeT.' This collaboration will build upon our previous fundamental research and focus on specific projects. The aim of this research is to apply our product to orthopedic medical devices, leveraging its properties to reduce the burden on bones during implantation in the body. In the future, we are also planning to establish collaborations and joint research with hospital personnel and clinical researchers. **Features of NiFreeT:** - Low Young's modulus - High elastic limit (returns easily after deformation) - Non-magnetic (usable under MRI) - Good X-ray visibility - Nickel-free (allergy prevention) - High biocompatibility (suitable for medical devices requiring long-term implantation) *For more details, please refer to the related catalog or feel free to contact us.*
