Pure Gold

The exceptional qualities of gold make it a reliable and cost-efficient metal for medical device manufacturers. Gold is biocompatible and will not create toxic reactions within the body. Gold has an excellent resistance to corrosion and will not oxidize in open-air, leaving no concerns for medical component and device performance to become compromised inside the body. Because of its excellent electrical conductivity, gold is often used as contacts and connectors in electromedical applications. These characteristics make gold a reliable and indispensable metal in the development of new medical technologies.
