Morgan Technical Ceramics, Alberox (MTC Alberox), an ISO13485 certified leader in the manufacture of ceramic-to-metal assemblies, has expanded its production cleanroom for implantable feedthroughs. The clean room environment provides an additional level of reliability and assures feedthroughs will not be exposed to contamination which could be detrimental to their performance.
