The carbon profile has the unique property of being invisible to X-rays. This property is often used, especially in the medical world.
The application of
x-rays
If a bone is fractured, it is possible to use a carbon splint. The profile is invisible to X-rays, so the bone fractures are fully visible. This makes it possible to continue to monitor the healing of the fracture, without having to remove the splint.
Incidentally, composites are also used for several other medical applications. The advantages of carbon and fibreglass are the strength and durability of the products. They also do not contain any metals, which means they cannot cause allergic reactions. The material is also easy to clean or to sterilise again. The medical world demands traceability from its suppliers in terms of the raw materials and production processes used. This is process that we at Prince Fibre are very familiar with.
