Growth in the medical device sector is fueled by an ageing population, an increased emphasis on the quality of care, more informed patients and emerging technologies.

Medical advances in the last decade have given rise to new and improved procedures. In parallel there has been a significant increase in the variety and complexity of the medical devices manufactured. With demanding regulatory controls, the manufacture of intricate medical devices from advanced materials requires more precision engineering and tighter tolerances.
