Oracle Precision Ltd: Setting the Standard in Surgical Instrument Manufacturing
October 2024Oracle Precision Ltd: Our Legacy in Surgical Instrumentation Manufacturing
As an experienced manufacturer specialising in subcontract CNC machining for surgical instrumentation, we take pride in our history of over 30 years of expertise in crafting high-quality, precision-engineered surgical instrumentation. Our commitment to excellence is supported by ISO 13485 certification, ensuring that our products meet the highest medical standards.
Transitioning from Early Craftsmanship to 20th Century Innovations
During the Industrial Revolution, cities like Sheffield became hubs for metalwork, where artisans crafted durable surgical instruments from carbon steel. As the 20th century progressed, the introduction of stainless steel transformed the industry, allowing us to provide corrosion-resistant materials that enhance the longevity and safety of surgical tools.
The Rise of Orthopaedic Surgery: Precision and Specialisation
With the rise of orthopaedic surgery in the mid-20th century, driven by advances in medical science and a growing understanding of the human musculoskeletal system, the demand for highly specialised surgical instruments soared. UK manufacturers were at the forefront of this evolution, developing tools specifically designed for delicate bone surgeries, joint replacements, and fracture repairs.
In this era, UK companies began introducing custom-made instruments tailored to the needs of individual surgeons and procedures, elevating the precision and effectiveness of orthopaedic surgeries. This emphasis on bespoke manufacturing further solidified the UK's reputation as a centre of excellence for surgical instrumentation.
Embracing Modern Advances: CNC Machining and Passivation
At Oracle Precision Ltd, we leverage advanced CNC machining techniques, including full 5-axis CNC and sliding head (Swiss-type) machining, to produce intricate surgical instruments. Our commitment to quality is further evidenced by our in-house citric acid passivation to ASTM A967/A967-17 standard specification, which ensures corrosion resistance and compliance with medical-grade standards. This eco-friendly process underscores our dedication to both safety and sustainability.
Medical Device Prototyping
From design to manufacture, we can also rapidly produce prototype medical devices in various volumes for testing, demonstration, and trials. As rapid prototyping experts, our team can produce one-off or batch medical device prototypes with a superior turnaround time.
