Y-TZP zirconia medical grade - Cerafast
One of Microcertec specialities is our capability to offer a Y-TZP zirconia ceramic approved for medial use. Our Cerafast facility has had a long experience in producing components for non-implantable medical and dental devices. Cerafast has the capability to manufacture a component from pressing, sintering and finishing. When a part requires more precision grinding, blanks are supplied to Microcertec S.A.S who then manufactures the finished product.
