The sharp tip of a disposable instrument can be delicate. The soft metal is good for one or two extremely precise cuts. After it’s created, the tip must be kept sharp through manufacturing, molding, assembly, etc. Tegra Medical has developed proprietary processes that keep a device from losing its edge.
For example, a customer hired Tegra Medical to create the sharp metal tip of their device but was already using another supplier for molding and assembly. When the other supplier shipped the final devices to the customer, they were no longer as sharp. After several unsuccessful attempts to get their other supplier to maintain the sharp edges the customer realized that only Tegra Medical was going to keep the devices sharp enough for their high standards. They then asked Tegra Medical to handle all the steps of making the device, from the sharp “business end” to the molded handle and everything in between.
Keeping devices sharp is a discipline instilled in everything Tegra Medical does.
