METIZ

Founded in ***9 METIZ Group of Companies has been successfully operating for more than fifteen years to provide high-tech innovative solutions and regain greater independence and freedom for people with permanent or temporary limited mobility.
METIZ Group holds a leading position in Russia in the development and production of high-quality, reliable, advanced components and materials for production of lower-limb prostheses.  METIZ Group is exclusive distributor of prosthetic and orthopedic products of the most famous and popular foreign companies.
The activities of METIZ Group are mainly focused on four main directions:
‚§ Design, production and distribution of components and materials for prosthetics;
‚§ Distribution of components and materials of foreign producers for production of
prosthetic and orthopedic products and orthopedic shoes together with providing field technical support in the development of new prosthetics technologies;
‚§ Distribution of orthopedic products and footwear;
‚§ Delivery of equipment for prosthetics, orthopedic and shoe shops.
The main emphases METIZ Group places on the design and manufacture of the components for production of high-quality, functional and accessible to people prosthetic products.
The strategy of the company is based on the constant introduction of innovative solutions, maintaining of high quality of products that are not inferior to products of leading world producers. The special focus on caring for customers and meeting their needs enables METIZ Group to hold the leading positions in the Russian market.
METIZ Group has its own design office where highly experienced experts conduct research and design work to create new products, materials and technologies. Thanks to this approach the company's products are always notable for original technical solutions, many of which are protected by patents.
The company introduced a quality management system conforming to international standards, which ensure the quality of products at all stages of the life cycle.
Production facilities are equipped with up-to-date equipment for manufacturing and testing of products. Knowledgeable staff and the system of internal standards provide stable and efficient process management.
The products delivered by METIZ Group are accompanied by all necessary permits and certificates in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and European Union.
METIZ Group is constantly evolving particularly in the application of innovative technologies.
For manufacture of products METIZ Group uses not only the most advanced materials but also engineering solutions taking into consideration the feedback from the partners and the end clients.
Materials that are used by METIZ Group for production of components for lower limb prosthesis have complex of unique properties - high strength, corrosion resistance, low density.
Exceedingly reliable materials - carbon fiber, titanium, aluminum alloys, and stainless steels, well-proven in aviation and space technology allow producing the components of prostheses safe for the patients of different activity levels.
The components of titanium alloy used in the aerospace industry for most important parts such as turbine engine blades have high load capacity and low weight. An important advantage of titanium is biologically inertness to the human body.
For production of the components are applied corrosion resistant (stainless) steel used in the aviation industry and the chemical industry for the products that are subject to considerable cyclic loads in aggressive environments. The use of stainless steels ensures to increase the service life of products, improve reliability in operation and achieve aesthetic appearance.
Aluminum alloy is used in aviation and automotive industries for the production of load bearing elements. The products made of this material have the smallest weight and high fatigue strength. All our products made of aluminum alloys are protected by anti-corrosion coating.
The use of carbon fiber in our products enables not only significantly to reduce the weight of the prosthesis but also due to its unique elastic properties ensures saving of energy by the patient while walking.
The ability to manage during production the structure of the products made of composite materials allows creating optimal on durability and weight components of lower-limb prostheses.
The quality of all materials is certified by certificates of conformity of the respective manufacturers and tested by incoming quality control.
