Services for Precision Surgical Components
JACO is proud to offer an array of services for manufacturing custom surgical instruments and components. Our team assists you in selecting the optimal machining method or secondary service to meet your goals. Depending on your specific requirements, we can offer:
5-Axis Precision Machining: This advanced technique allows for intricate and precise shaping of surgical instrument components. With five axes of movement, we can create complex geometries with tight tolerances.
Vertical and Horizontal CNC Milling: Our Vertical and Horizontal milling machines are versatile tools for producing surgical instrument parts. We use computer numerical control (CNC) to precisely remove material from a workpiece, resulting in accurate shapes and dimensions.
CNC Swiss Screw Machining: From small, intricate components like screws, pins, and fasteners to long, slender chisels and shafts, CNC screw machining is ideal. Their ability to create intricate parts ensures patient safety and reliability, while ensuring they meet stringent quality standards.
Laser Welding: Laser welding joins surgical instrument components without the need for additional materials. It ensures minimal heat-affected zones and precise fusion, maintaining the integrity of the instruments.
Design for Manufacturing: Every design we receive undergoes a thorough review to evaluate various features that could influence the efficiency and production cost of your components. Our collaborative approach allows us to work closely with your team, identifying the best production method for your specific goals.
Whether it’s reducing costs, improving turnaround time, or enhancing product quality, JACO Machine Works is your trusted partner in precision surgical instruments manufacturing.
Citric Passivation for Stainless Steel Surgical Parts
Our certified Citric Acid Passivation process plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and longevity of stainless-steel medical components. Utilizing our controlled chemistry, detailed recordkeeping, and strict adherence to lot control and traceability, our process allows for consistent and repeatable results. Our process is certified per ASTM A967 and ASTM A380 standards, and our certification is provided free of charge. Benefits of citric passivation on stainless steel medical parts include:
- Enhanced Sterilization Process: Surgical equipment undergoes rigorous sterilization procedures to ensure patient safety. Citric passivation optimizes the sterilization process, making it more efficient and reliable.
- Increased Corrosion Resistance: By forming a thin, inert oxide layer on the metal surface, citric passivation shields stainless steel components from corrosive agents. This protection extends the life of the parts, even when exposed to bodily fluids or harsh environments.
- Biocompatibility: Surface contaminants can lead to tissue rejection when surgical devices interact with the human body. Citric passivation eliminates these contaminants, rendering the components more biocompatible and reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Quality Assurance
JACO Machine Works’ comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) is certified to ISO9001:2015 and AS9100D standards and complies with the requirements of ISO 13485:2003. This certification underscores our commitment to safety, reliability, and precision in every component we produce. Whether it’s risk analysis, raw material inspection, recordkeeping, supplier management, or final assembly, we adhere to strict quality control measures. Here’s how our QMS ensures reliable and repeatable results:
- Continuous Improvement: We evaluate process effectiveness continually. Factors like on-time deliveries, customer satisfaction, and quality conformance drive our improvement efforts.
- Risk Analysis: Identifying and mitigating risks preemptively is essential. Our upper management reviews high-risk jobs before production begins, ensuring quality from the outset.
- Traceability and Documentation: We maintain full lot and material traceability throughout production, complying with customer and regulatory specifications. Rigorous documentation ensures complete accountability and demonstrates product conformance.
- State-of-the-Art Inspection: Our automatic CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) uses powerful software to inspect complex part geometries directly from solid model files. This technology allows for fast, repetitive inspections at a low cost.
