Implant Manufacturing

Precision and reliability are essential in the medical industry, especially when it comes to medical implants. From spinal and joint replacements to dental implants, these critical devices require biocompatible materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to meet strict regulatory standards.

This is where contract manufacturers specializing in medical implants provide game-changing knowledge and experience. Outsourcing production to a medical implant manufacturer such as Unity Precision gives you access to cutting-edge technology, expert craftsmanship, and streamlined processes without the heavy investment of in-house production.

Key Considerations for Contract Manufacturing

Production capability is essential when selecting a medical implant manufacturer for your application, but the details matter. Here are some of the most critical capabilities to look for.

Precision Machining

Medical implants must be produced accurately and within tolerances to fit and function properly inside the human body. Operations such as CNC Milling, Swiss, Turning and Drilling, Wire EDM, and laser cutting and marking are computer-controlled techniques with high repeatability, minimal variation, and a reduced risk of human error. Precision machining also enables precision finishes that are easy to sterilize.

Material Selection and Processing

In addition to biocompatibility, it is important that the materials used in medical implants be strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight. To maintain their integrity, the materials must also be able to withstand cleaning and sterilization processes.

Regulatory Compliance

Medical implants must meet strict FDA and CE Mark standards for biocompatibility and safety. In addition, manufacturers should implement a quality management system (QMS) and have ISO 13485 certification. These voluntary measures help ensure accuracy and reliability in medical manufacturing in several ways, including:

QMS documentation and practices
Traceability of materials and parts
Identifying and resolving problems in the manufacturing process
Communication with customers about projects and timelines
Risk management and removal of non-conforming implants and devices

Benefits of Contract Manufacturing for Medical Implants

Outsourcing implant production to a contract manufacturer offers several advantages:

Focus on Your Core Competencies. Partnering with an experienced manufacturer frees up time for your core business activities, including research, development, marketing, and sales.
Access to Industry Expertise. Contract manufacturers bring years of engineering and production experience and insight into potential pitfalls and other considerations.
Cost Efficiency. Advanced manufacturing facilities leverage economies of scale, reducing costs without sacrificing quality. You’ll also avoid the expense and risk of investing in facilities, equipment, and new hires for in-house manufacturing.
Faster Time-to-Market. Streamlined production accelerates development timelines so companies can bring new implants to market faster.
Consistent Quality and Reliability. QMS programs, familiarity with regulatory requirements, and rigorous testing improve overall implant quality.

Compliance with Medical Standards

Medical implant production is closely regulated to safeguard patient safety, for example:

Regulatory Compliance with FDA and CE Mark standards, which cover U.S. and European markets
ISO 13485 Certification for Quality Management
Testing and inspection
