In the rapidly evolving medical industry, the demand for precision medical device components is growing exponentially. From surgical instruments to diagnostic equipment, manufacturers require high-precision, cleanable, and biocompatible parts that meet strict regulatory standards. At HY Metals, we specialize in providing medical-grade sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and turning services to support the development of cutting-edge healthcare solutions.
Medical device manufacturing demands exceptional precision, reliability, and compliance due to its critical applications in patient care. Below are the essential characteristics and requirements for medical-grade parts:
1. Ultra-High Precision (±0.01mm or tighter)
Surgical tools, implants, and diagnostic equipment require micron-level accuracy for proper functionality.
CNC machining and laser cutting ensure tight tolerances for seamless assembly.
2. Biocompatible & Sterilizable Materials
Common materials:
Stainless Steel (316L, 17-4PH) – Corrosion-resistant for surgical instruments
Titanium (Grade 2, 5, 23) – Lightweight & biocompatible for implants
Aluminum (6061-T6, 7075) – Structural parts for imaging devices
Must withstand repeated autoclaving, gamma radiation, or chemical sterilization.
3. Smooth, Non-Porous Surfaces
Electropolishing & passivation prevent bacterial adhesion.
No burrs or sharp edges to avoid tissue damage.
Ra ≤ 0.4µm surface finish for cleanability.
4. Strict Regulatory Compliance
ISO 13485 – Quality management for medical devices
FDA 21 CFR Part 820 – US medical device manufacturing standards
EU MDR/CE Marking – European regulatory requirements
Full material traceability (Mill Certs, RoHS, REACH).
5. Cleanroom Manufacturing (When Required)
Contamination-free production for Class 7/8 cleanrooms.
Special packaging to maintain sterility.
6. Rigorous Testing & Documentation
Dimensional inspection (CMM, optical comparators)
Mechanical testing (fatigue resistance, tensile strength)
First Article Inspection (FAI) reports for validation.
Why Medical Device Manufacturers Trust HY Metals
1. Medical-Grade Materials & Precision
– We work with stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum alloys that meet ISO 13485 and FDA requirements for medical applications.
– Our CNC machining (±0.01mm tolerance) and precision sheet metal bending ensure components fit perfectly in complex assemblies.
– Strict cleanroom-compatible handling prevents contamination for surgical and implantable devices.
2. Fast Prototyping & Small-Batch Production
