Molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium and chromium:
Strong metals make strong products.

Metal is more than just metal. An example? More than two tons of tungsten, 576 high-precision drill holes, one aim: a method of treating brain tumors that does not attack healthy tissue.

Steel is no use here. Only the densest metal can reliably shield against gamma radiation. In our collimator, which is manufactured from DENSIMET® (tungsten-nickel-iron), we guide radiation with pinpoint accuracy to a tiny focal point. This permits exceptional precision, for example during radiotherapy in the vicinity of the optic nerve. Every year, 50 000 patients benefit from this extremely benign form of treatment which helps them to a speedier recovery.
