Machining Perfection

 Machining is one of the most critical quality-defining processes in surgical instruments manufacturing. Many of the problems that arise later in the production of medical devices can be traced to improper machine work. Hence it is of utmost importance that the machine shop be well maintained, serviced, and QC checked on regular basis.

With more than 9000 instruments in our catalog and approximately 4500 instruments running at any given time, it is critical that proper machining be done the first time an instrument is brought to the machine shop. The huge variety of cutters, types of machines, and the craftsmanship required to make such a plethora of instruments is no small feat.

So a ‘job well done’ to our machine shop workers and supervisors.

The Golden Instruments

Whenever i am showing around a group of doctors, students, or guests around the factory, TC instruments become a particular source of interest for the viewers. Perhaps its the golden tint of the instrument that catches their eye or perhaps its the difference in process manufacturing that they note. Either way, following questions pop-up most commonly, so i thought why not post them up on the blog along with their answers. So here we go.

What does TC stand for?
TC stands for Tungsten Carbide.

Why are these Instruments gold at the bottom?
It is industry standard to mark all TC instruments by coloring them gold at the bottom.

Is it real gold?
Yes and No. kinda but not really. But it sure is expensive like real gold

Whats so special about these instruments?
These instruments have a tungsten carbide tip inserted in their mouths resulting in more durable, better working, and precision instrument.

Are they more expensive than regular instruments?
Yes. Because of the gold at the bottom and TC tip on the top, these instruments are more expensive than regular non-TC instruments.

What instruments can be made into a TC instrument?
All sorts of instruments including micro forceps, needle holders, wire cutters, and cutting instruments like scissors and pliers can be made into TC instruments.

The viewers also normally ask questions regarding how the gold and TC tip is applied (at which point i show them our manufacturing process which is way cooler to experience than to read about). So there you have it, now you know the answers to the frequent questions relating to TC instruments by visitors of our company.

Univ. of Michigan Technology + Your DNA = New Body Parts

It feels really good when your university does something great. It feels even greater when that something is related to your professional field and has the potential of altering the lives of people for good. In this case, the university i attended for my MBA, University of Michigan, informed me of the following news through their Alumni stay-in-touch email. It was so awesome that i decided to re-share it with the world.

“Need new knees, new hips or a new jaw? What if an exact replica could be created using a CT or MRI scan of your own anatomy combined with your own DNA? U-M biomedical engineers and surgeons have developed a method to recreate bone and other tissue lost from age-related causes, cancer or traumatic injuries.

Using completely biodegradable scaffolding, designed and manufactured into a customized shape using patient imaging and laser-based systems, researchers can replicate any part of the human skeleton. The scaffolding is filled with a patient’s own DNA, along with growth factors and other biocompatible compounds, and is then implanted into the patient. Over time, new bone and blood vessels develop within the scaffolding, creating an exact copy of the missing part. The scaffolding biodegrades and dissolves as waste in the body.

U-M biomedical engineer Dr. Scott Hollister and U-M oral/maxillofacial surgeon Dr. Sean Edwards will discuss this revolutionary tissue engineering technique and its implication for the future of reconstructive medicine. Drs. Hollister and Edwards will provide an overview of their current research, applying this technique to recreate a functioning jaw. They’ll share preliminary results of this work, will have examples of the scaffolding material available to see firsthand, and will explore its application to other areas of orthopedic surgery, spine surgery and organ transplantation. To learn more about Dr. Hollister’s research, watch this video.”

New Catalog Coming Soon

We will be rolling out our new general instruments catalog by the second half of this year. This will be a major update to our existing offerings such that our product range will cross well over 10,000 surgical/medical instruments. The TC Instruments catalog, which was a separate catalog earlier, will be combined within our new general catalog…so yeah, something to look forward to. We are excited.
