We
manufacture and supply Heart Valve Frames to
TTK Pharma. These frames are used in the indigenously
developed Chitra Valve. The valve is implanted
in the human heart to cure a condition medically
known as rheumatic heart disease. We can produce
nearly 2,000 frames annually. This is still
a small portion of the requirement of valves
and the company is geared to manufacture higher
volumes in the future. The manufacturing challenges
are in working on high Chromium-Cobalt alloy
that is tough to machine, machining small and
intricate shape of the heart valve frame, fixturing
of the complex thin walled component without
stress for multiple machining setups. |
