Material Biocompatibiliy and Integrity
IMS is capable of servicing most brands and models of surgical power equipment, which includes handpieces, shavers, attachments, batteries, foot switches, consoles, and many other items. Brands we service include Stryker®, Linvatec®, Hall®, Midas Rex®, 3MTM, Dyonics®, Smith and Nephew®, MicroAire®, Synthes®, Depuy®, and additional lesser known manufacturers.
IMS employs former OEM-trained technicians and personnel. Many of our technicians have over 10 years of experience servicing various makes and models of power equipment.
Our pneumatic power equipment manager has over 28 years of industry experience. Our technical staff includes degreed professionals in the following disciplines:
Several of these scientists / engineers hold advanced degrees in their respective fields and bring an abundance of industry experience to IMS.
IMS engineers and scientists ensure that replacement parts are functionally equivalent to the original components of the power equipment. Parameters for component material, geometry, and assembly techniques are studied and used to create the replacement components. One example of this is sealing the motor controller of Stryker® large bone handpieces. The motor controller must be sealed so that the high pressure and temperature of steam sterilization will not adversely affect the internal components. IMS utilizes a process that completely seals the motor controller and protects it from the harsh environment that the handpiece is exposed to during use and sterilization.
Another important parameter that must be addressed is the IMS Motor Base process of sealing the motor base. The motor base is sealed to protect the motor components from being damaged during the sterilization process and reduce the opportunity for other damage. IMS seals the motor base so that it is functionally equivalent to the original motor base.
