The application of turning in the manufacture of medical devices

In medical device manufacturing, turning, with high precision and stability, is key for critical components, ensuring safety.​
In surgical instruments, scalpel handles and hemostat pins need turning for dimensions. Handle turning ensures grip, finish and prevents bacteria; pin turning affects hemostat function, with micron precision aiding surgery.​
Implantables demand stricter turning. Titanium parts like artificial joint heads and nails need extreme accuracy via turning. Joint head turning reduces friction; nail turning balances strength and stability for fixation.​
Medical equipment parts (e.g., ventilator/monitor shafts) rely on turning for stable, accurate high-speed operation, avoiding failures and protecting patients.​
In short, turning is vital in medical device making, underpinning performance and safety.
