The Swedish company Sandvik are not so big in the medical world compared to their actual field which is machining and mining solutions, but they’re innovations are world-renowned and they are actually a world-leading company, most particularly for scalpels and bone saws and spinal fixation devices. Their largest medical sector is the production of tiny wires under the name EXERA.
The microscopic size of the wires are so small they were tested on insect brains in the past year to check the response to stimuli, which naturally makes them more than ideal for being used in medical devices implanted inside humans.
