Process of Design and Manufacturing
Manufacturing Process of Instruments
We Select the best materials that match the design specs and consider production costs, timelines, and quality assurance protocols
when crafting all components of the instrument. our production team must also consider any costs associated with the manufacturing
process when aiming for an economically optimal balance between quality assurance, timeliness, and cost. We make sure to follow
exacting protocols in order to meet or exceed client requirements so that the end result can be unsurpassed in quality.
Raw Material/Steel:
The first step in making surgical instruments is to source high-quality raw materials, such as stainless steel. We make all surgical
instruments and tools from high-quality stainless steel due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Some surgical
instruments may also be made from other materials such as titanium, cobalt-chromium alloys, or ceramics, depending on the specific
instrument’s intended use and requirements.
Machining:
Once the basic shape of the instrument is created, it is then machined using specialized equipment such as Power Press. This step helps
to create the fine details of the instrument.
Milling:
Milling is another process that is used to create complex shapes and patterns on the instruments. Heimat Industry Instruments uses
advanced milling machines to create intricate designs on the instruments.
Filling:
Some surgical instruments require filling or welding to create a smooth surface or to join two parts together. Heimat Industry
Instruments has specialized equipment to fill or weld the instruments as required.
Polishing / Instrument Finish
Once the instruments are heat-treated, they are polished to create a smooth and shiny finish. Heimat Industry Instruments uses
specialized polishing equipment and techniques to create a consistent finish on all their instruments.
Ultrasonic Cleaning:
The instruments are then cleaned using ultrasonic cleaning machines that use high-frequency sound waves to remove any dirt, oil
or debris.
Tuck Checking:
Tuck checking is a process used to ensure that the instruments are properly assembled and that there are no loose parts.
Etching:
Etching is a process used to mark the instruments with a unique identification number or brand name. Heimat Industry Instruments
uses specialized equipment to etch their instruments.
Inspection:
After machining and milling, filling, binding and temper, polishing, etching, the instruments are inspected again to ensure that they
meet the required specifications.
Finalizing Process:
Our final process ensures all aspects of the crafted surgical tools and instruments, such as material, design, dimensions, and tests, have
been completed as defined by our rigid quality standards and customer specifications. The last step for our technicians is to inspect
every piece for accuracy before it’s packaged and prepared for shipment. Every product is then stamped with Heimat Industry
Instruments® certification, which ensures that each instrument adheres to the highest quality control procedures prior to being used
in medical applications.
Q. A. Inspection: 4%
4% of the instruments are randomly selected and inspected again to ensure that they meet the required standards.
Packing:
Once the instruments have passed all the required inspections, they are carefully packed to protect them during shipping.
Labeling:
Each instrument is labeled with a unique identification number and information about the instrument, such as the size and type.
