Metals are essential components in a wide range of medical device products, including many of the most advanced and technically innovative minimally invasive medical devices. Components made from metals are durable, cost-effective, and strong. They also have excellent electrical conductivity characteristics and can be manufactured with highly precise sharp edges or points.
The manufacturing of metal components for medical device products is highly specialised. As a result, it is important to partner with a manufacturer with extensive expertise both in metals manufacturing and producing components for medical device companies and brand owners.
We meet both requirements at Arrotek. In fact, we specialise exclusively in medical device development and manufacturing. In addition, our facility in Boston, USA is a highly respected Centre of Excellence for Metals Manufacturing in the medical device industry.
