Strength and Density for Uncompromising Performance

The Gripper is a medical instrument designed for surgical applications. With its versatile capabilities, this tool allows for seamless handling, gripping, and holding of various materials. The Gripper's two curved groove areas enable precise operation and manipulation during medical procedures, accommodating both organic and inorganic materials. What sets this instrument apart is its inner channel, which not only allows for the application of fluids like air or water at the tip but also provides a pathway for electrical wires to contact the tip of the gripper for sensory or actuator applications. Its exceptional density of >6.1 g/cm³, coupled with its absence of open porosity, ensures higher bending strength and fracture toughness compared to alumina.
