Which stainless steel grades does S.S. Surgimed use for surgical instruments?

Accepted Answer

We forge instruments from German and Japanese surgical grade martensitic stainless steels such as AISI 410, 420 and 440 for cutting edges and jaws, and austenitic AISI 304/316 for holloware, trays and non-cutting handles. Each heat lot arrives with a mill certificate, and hardness is verified after vacuum heat treatment.
