SITES Medical Expands Manufacturing Capabilities

SITES Medical has ordered two vacuum furnaces, expanding their heat treat capabilities. SITES Medical is an orthopedic technology development company that invents and de-risks new technologies, and the furnaces will aid them as they collaborate with OEMs to bring technologies to market and drive mutual growth.

The new furnaces from Ipsen will accommodate increased volume resulting from growth in business. Each has a work zone size of 24” wide x 24” high x 36” deep with an all-metal hot zone. The furnaces will be used for orthopedic implant processing such as stress relieving Ti and CoCr components, as well as diffusion bonding of Ti and CoCr implants.

"After reviewing the options available for thermal processing solutions," said Greg Stalcup, president/CEO of SITES Medical, "we elected to purchase the Ipsen TurboTreater® vacuum furnaces due to their high quality and reliability."
