Advanced Orthopedics

Our Advanced Orthopedic devices encompass a range of precision techniques, including Ortho Swiss Machining, Gundrilling, and Wire & Sinker EDM. Each of these processes is tailored to create durable, precise components that meet the stringent requirements of orthopedic applications, such as implants and surgical instruments. Through our GENESIS Tech Center®, we collaborate with customers in the early stages of development, offering prototyping, design for manufacturing, and pilot production to accelerate innovation. Our commitment to accuracy and reliability ensures that every device we manufacture meets the highest standards in orthopedic care.

Highlights

  • Tight tolerances ensure consistent performance
  • Expertise with medical-grade metals
  • Close collaboration with OEMs to create custom solutions

Examples of Use

Spinal Implants:

  • Bone screws and anchors for spinal fixation
  • Plates, cages, and rods for spinal fusion and stabilization

Trauma Devices:

  • Intramedullary compression, retrograde, cannulated, and bone transfer nails for fracture fixation
  • Femoral head removers for hip surgery
  • Femoral nail implants for orthopedic reconstruction

Ortho Instruments:

  • Orthopedic drills and taps for implant placement
  • Instruments used to aid in surgical procedures, such as impactors, inserters, reducers, guides, and templates
  • Instruments designed for single use and limited reuse
