TYROLIT in medical technology These days, humans are getting older on average than ever before. Since 1990, life expectancy in the EU has increased from 74 to over 81 years. This trend has a major impact on many parts of our life. The trend of an ever-aging society has increasingly brought medical advancements and medical technology into the spotlight. At the same time, a long and active life puts a particular strain on our joints. Orthopaedics therefore plays an important role in the field of medical technology. Hip and knee joint operations in particular are now routine interventions. However, the dental industry accounts for the largest percentage of implants. Over one million dental implants are installed each year in Germany alone. The demand for ever better and more durable products through the use of new materials in the production process is steadily increasing. With numerous system solutions and proven experience, TYROLIT is a competent partner for medical technology customers.
