Materials - BiomedTM Series Alloys
Johnson Matthey is the leading expert in materials development of precious metals and other base metal alloys. Our ongoing alloy development blends platinum group metals and gold alloys with the mechanical properties and reduced cost of base metals to create a selection of more than 235 unique binary and ternary alloys.
The introduction of the new BioMed™ Series of Platinum-substitution Alloys is just one example of our committment to developing a range of alloys to offer the lowest cost and highest performance for Medical Device Applications. Alloys with other Platinum-Group Metals (PGM) including Iridium, Rhenium and others can provide equal or better characteristics at a lower cost that Platinum for may applications.

The rising cost of Platinum has led to JM's innovative development of lower cost radiopaque alloys
Biomed™ Series Alloys will provide the same mechanical and physical properties of Platinum- based materials.
