Langevin transducer from CeramTec for medical devices

Langevin Transducers / High-Power Ultrasonic Transducers

CeramTec specializes in the development and manufacturing of custom high-power ultrasonic transducers for ultrasonic homogenization, mechanical cell lysis, sonication, bone cutting, drilling, as well as tissue aspiration and fragmentation. The same technology is also applied in phacoemulsification (cataract surgery) and dental scaling — fields where precise mechanical shock waves enable gentle treatment without major surgical intervention.

Piezoceramics in Ultrasonic Therapy

Piezoceramics are essential in generating ultrasonic pressure waves used in a variety of medical applications such as:

Atomisation for drug delivery systems in nebulisers
Ultrasonic Pain therapy
Ultrasonic Imaging
Foetal doppler monitoring
Dental descaling
Components for Kidney Stone Fragmentation

In addition, we offer customer-specific solutions made from lead-free piezoceramic.

Ceramic Tubes for Medical Applications

From minimally invasive surgical procedures to innovative treatment concepts, we develop ceramic components for demanding medical applications. Thanks to excellent material properties, comprehensive industry expertise and many years of experience, we create added value for medical device manufacturers with customised and needs-based solutions.

Air In-Line Sensors (Bubble Detectors)

We manufacture ultrasonic sensors for detecting air in pipelines and sensors for air bubble detection in liquid supply lines used in medical dosing applications. In addition, our sensors are used in dialysis machines, for example, where they detect life-threatening air bubbles in blood being returned to the patient and automatically interrupt the treatment to protect the patient.

Monolythic Multilayer Actuators

CeramTec's piezoceramic actuators are used in medical devices wherever precise, micro-scale movements or vibrations are required – for example in ultrasound diagnostic and therapy equipment, minimally invasive surgical instruments, or drug delivery systems. Their high reliability, compact design, and precise controllability make them a key component in demanding medical technology applications.

Additive Manufacturing

CeramTec's ceramic 3D printing solutions enable the production of highly complex, individually customized ceramic components for medical devices – such as patient-specific implants, surgical instruments, or parts for diagnostic equipment that would be difficult to realize using conventional manufacturing methods. With additive manufacturing in silicon carbide (SiSiC) and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), you benefit from rapid prototyping, complex geometries, lightweight designs, and faster time-to-market - all without the need for costly tooling.

Various hermetic feedthroughs and components from CeramTec for medical devices

Hermetically Sealed Components (Hermetics)

CeramTec's hermetic seals are used in medical devices to reliably protect electronic components and sensitive parts from body fluids, moisture, and other environmental influences – for example in implantable devices such as pacemakers or cochlear implants. Thanks to high-precision ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs, they ensure a durable, biocompatible, and gas-tight seal that meets the most stringent safety requirements in medical technology.

Pumps / Valves and Seals in Medical Applications

Ceramics have extremely low coefficients of friction, this combined with their bio-inert properties and resistance to wear, makes ceramics ideal in applications such as:
