METIZ

Founded in 1999 METIZ Group of Companies has been successfullyoperating for more than fifteen years to provide high-techinnovative solutions and regain greater independence and freedomfor people with permanent or temporary limited mobility.METIZ Group holds a leading position in Russia in the developmentand production of high-quality, reliable, advanced components andmaterials for production of lower-limb prostheses.  METIZGroup is exclusive distributor of prosthetic and orthopedicproducts of the most famous and popular foreign companies.The activities of METIZ Group are mainly focused on four maindirections: Design, production and distribution of components andmaterials for prosthetics; Distribution of components and materials of foreignproducers for production ofprosthetic and orthopedic products and orthopedic shoes togetherwith providing field technical support in the development of newprosthetics technologies; Distribution of orthopedic products and footwear; Delivery of equipment for prosthetics, orthopedic and shoeshops.The main emphases METIZ Group places on the design and manufactureof the components for production of high-quality, functional andaccessible to people prosthetic products.The strategy of the company is based on the constant introductionof innovative solutions, maintaining of high quality of productsthat are not inferior to products of leading world producers. Thespecial focus on caring for customers and meeting their needsenables METIZ Group to hold the leading positions in the Russianmarket.METIZ Group has its own design office where highly experiencedexperts conduct research and design work to create new products,materials and technologies. Thanks to this approach the company'sproducts are always notable for original technical solutions, manyof which are protected by patents.The company introduced a quality management system conforming tointernational standards, which ensure the quality of products atall stages of the life cycle.Production facilities are equipped with up-to-date equipment formanufacturing and testing of products. Knowledgeable staff and thesystem of internal standards provide stable and efficient processmanagement.The products delivered by METIZ Group are accompanied by allnecessary permits and certificates in accordance with thelegislation of the Russian Federation and European Union.METIZ Group is constantly evolving particularly in the applicationof innovative technologies.For manufacture of products METIZ Group uses not only the mostadvanced materials but also engineering solutions taking intoconsideration the feedback from the partners and the endclients.Materials that are used by METIZ Group for production of componentsfor lower limb prosthesis have complex of unique properties - highstrength, corrosion resistance, low density.Exceedingly reliable materials - carbon fiber, titanium, aluminumalloys, and stainless steels, well-proven in aviation and spacetechnology allow producing the components of prostheses safe forthe patients of different activity levels.The components of titanium alloy used in the aerospace industry formost important parts such as turbine engine blades have high loadcapacity and low weight. An important advantage of titanium isbiologically inertness to the human body.For production of the components are applied corrosion resistant(stainless) steel used in the aviation industry and the chemicalindustry for the products that are subject to considerable cyclicloads in aggressive environments. The use of stainless steelsensures to increase the service life of products, improvereliability in operation and achieve aesthetic appearance.Aluminum alloy is used in aviation and automotive industries forthe production of load bearing elements. The products made of thismaterial have the smallest weight and high fatigue strength. Allour products made of aluminum alloys are protected byanti-corrosion coating.The use of carbon fiber in our products enables not onlysignificantly to reduce the weight of the prosthesis but also dueto its unique elastic properties ensures saving of energy by thepatient while walking.The ability to manage during production the structure of theproducts made of composite materials allows creating optimal ondurability and weight components of lower-limb prostheses.The quality of all materials is certified by certificates ofconformity of the respective manufacturers and tested by incomingquality control.
