Medical Components

Creating complex, cost-effective components from a wide variety of medical-grade materials with chemical photo etching.

When it comes to medical devices, there’s no room for error. Every part has to be exactly right, every single time.

From parts for pacemakers to implantable monitoring devices and everything in between, photochemical etching gives you the precision you’re looking for. You get components that meet or exceed the tight tolerances required by medical OEMs, made with almost any metal you spec, including bio-compatible materials like titanium, platinum, nitinol and tantalum.
