Medical Instruments

The manufacturing process begins with the receipt of raw materials, typically in the form of billets or slugs. We use surgical grade German Stainless Steel with the majority of the raw materials sourced from Japan. The slugs are heated and placed in the mold and then compressed into the specified shape, which is called “drop forging”. A new mold is created per instrument after production of 800 – 1,000 units. Our skilled craftsmen, with great precision, hand craft all our instruments in an ISO 9001-2000 approved facility, under one roof. These instruments are then filed by hand, one at a time. Then they are de-burred. All tools are ”passivated” – a chemical process that removes foreign trace elements and creates a protective coating that prevents rust on stainless steel. Each is then individually polished with rouge from Germany. They are subsequently put through an ultra-sonic process for further sterilization and then packed in individual zip-lock bags. Part numbers are back-stamped for identification.
