Aluminum outperforms other materials to become an ideal choice for manufacturing of medical instruments, equipment, and devices mainly due to its intrinsic sustainable qualities. It is recyclable, lightweight, strong, non-toxic, inexpensive, easily machined and accepts many types of finishes. Metal integrity is crucial for medical devices that must hold tight tolerances and handle harsh conditions of cleaning and sterilization to perform their desired tasks. Medical coatings such as anodizing are used in many applications in the medical industry, including medical cases, trays, instruments, and general hospital accessories and devices made out of aluminum.
