Medical Steel Products

Enserve’s medical steel products : high quality, competitive prices, low initial costs, and stable supply.
If you are looking for Contract manufacturing (OEM or ODM) partner for medical steel materials made in Japan, our team with various expertise and strengths will make a proposal to meet your QCD requirements. We currently offer the following two types of medical steel products.

-medical instruments (scissors, forceps etc) 
-medical wires (Braided, Straighten, Torque Wire, Torque Coils etc.) for catheter or similar applications

We offer medical wire products with distinct advantages : Made in Japan Quality, Price Competitiveness, and Low Initial Cost and stable supply chain.

We offer tailor made medical medical wires (Braided, Straighten, Torque Wire, Torque Coils) for catheter or similar applications and instruments (scissors, forceps etc.). There are 4 distinct advantages for you to work with us : Made in Japan Quality, Price Competitiveness, Low Initial Cost, and Stable Supply.

<Advantage 1> Made in Japan Quality

We inspect our products before they are shipped to ensure through the eyes of the Japanese craftsmen, so that we can guarantee detailed features that are not shown on the drawings, such as “the tip engages cleanly” and “shape and smoothness suited to the way the customer uses the product”. To secure quality, it took 8 years to develop some of our product. Like Shinkansen’s time schedule, we promise our products’ quality as highly accurate and stable.

If you have some quality issues with current materials, we will listen to your concerns and make sure to solve your quality problems with Japanese craftmanship.

<Advantage 2> Price Competitiveness

Our products are more price competitive than market leaders yet quality is as quite close to them. The left diagram is broad image of our market positioning. Enserve is sure to offer competitive prices while satisfying quality compared to the market leaders. Enserve combine a team of expertise to secure this market position.

If the you use standard products while you wish customized products or unsatisfied about the current steel material costs, consult with us.

<Advantage 3> Low Initial Cost

We have accumulated knowhow and molds for medical instruments and wires. This enables us to offer three reasons for low initial cost for you.

If there are requests for custom-made products or concerns about the supply of medical instruments or wires, we will try to offer alternatives at a low initial cost.

-Share the industry latest trends and tips to shorten your development time and enable you to offer the cutting edge technology to your customer

-Find the most suitable option to reduce mold costs

-Make the instruments without drawings (reverse engineering)

<Advantage 4> Stable Supply

The medical steel supply chain is miniaturized with expertise. This means that compared to standardized products such as tableware, there is a high risk of unstable supply. Our supply chain is unique and diversified so that purchasing from us will make your business operation more stable.

Braided Wire (Round & Flat)

Braided wire is used for catheters, guidewires, and stents. Braided Wire is made by braiding multiple strands of wire together, which creates a strong and flexible structure that can be easily manipulated to navigate through the body. We offer the below specifications depending on your requirements. For specifications not listed, please consult with us. Our latest offering is Tungsten Wire which does not contain any inclusion (impurity) so that the wire thickness can be Dia 0.0025mm (2.5μm). Usually stainless contains inclusion (impurity) due to the production process so that the wire Dia 0.015mm (15μm) or less can be broken during the usage. Tungsten also has a good X-ray contrast that braided product is easily visible during the operation. We can offer gold-plated Tungsten wire as well for further improvement on the contrast.

Nitinol Wire (Round)

Nitinol wire is a specialized type of wire that is commonly used for drug eluting stents, stone basket, and Occluder. It is made from a unique alloy of nickel and titanium that has the ability to remember its original shape (excellent shape memory), even after being deformed. Nitinol Wire is not harmful or toxic to living tissue (Biocompatible). We offer the below specifications depending on your requirements.

Nitinol Wire Specifications

Wire Rope / Stranded Wire

Wire Rope / Stranded Wire is a type of wire that is composed of multiple thin wires, twisted together to form a strong and flexible structure. Wire Rope / Stranded Wire is commonly used for orthopedics, endoscopic, where flexibility and strength are critical requirements.

Torque Rope

Torque Rope is made by twisting multiple strands of wire together. Unlike other wires, torque rope allows for the transmission of rotational force with minimal loss. Torque Rope is commonly used for Endoscopic devices and catheter devices. Imagine a miniature driveshaft – you twist one end, and the other end rotates in the same direction. This precise control is crucial for certain endoscopic instruments.

Micro Catheter

Micro catheters are commonly used in procedures such as angiography, endovascular therapy, embolisation, where precision and control are critical requirements. They are inserted into the body through a small incision or puncture and guided to the target site using fluoroscopy or other imaging techniques. We are able to offer state-of-art precision micro catheters.

Torque Coil

Torque coils are made by coiling several strands as thin as a hair and layering them in 2, 3, 6, 8 or 12 layers. Torque coil provides rotational stability and control. Torque coil is a specially designed that is added to the distal end of the device, which allows the device to rotate and maintain its position during procedures. After 8 years of development, our Japanese manufacturer became capable to offer state-of-art precision Torque coils.

Hypotube (Hypodermic tube) with welded wire

Hypotube or Hypodermic tube is a small, thin-walled metal tube used in various medical applications, particularly in Low-Invasive Surgery which requires shape retention and rotational transmission to keep compact and flexible and fit inside a human blood vessel. Hypotubes are commonly made from stainless steel or other materials with some coatings inde such as copper with specific properties suitable for individual medical purposes.

Accuracy of cut (no burr, easy to sterilize) is critical for the hypotube to operate properly during surgery. To satisfy both the material and processing (cutting, coating etc) at the high level of accuracy is very demanding, so that the number of companies that can deliver Hypotubes in the world is limited.

Enserve arranges a combination of high-quality materials and processes from Japan. Enserve is able to offer not only Hypotube itself, but also the whole “Assy (Hypotube + Wire + Welding)”.

Medical Instruments

Enserve also offers medical instruments with distinct advantages.

Japanese Craftmanship

We respect the craftmanship of every single process of manufacturing for our medical instruments. Because medical instruments are mainly hand made, the attention to the details are essential and manufacturing know-how and tips of craft men must be highly appreciated to achieve end users comfort of critical applications.

The end users (doctors) in Japan severely evaluate the usability of medical materials. For our manufacturing, Japanese craftmanship is essential for these end users’ sensitive and demanding requirements.

Suitable for Small Hands

Medical Instruments are often used for more than 2 hours for surgeries. If doctors continue using the wrong size medical instruments, they get more tired and loose concentration during a surgery. Japanese male hand length is 20mm shorter than Caucasian male hand length. Our instruments fit with Non-Caucasian males to use comfortably for long hours. Generally, the average height correlates the average hand size. This reference provides average height data by countries. We are confident that smaller handed doctors feel comfortable and less fatigue with our instruments.

Available Instruments

We mainly introduce forceps and shears for medical use. Besides that, we can also produce stethoscopes, Nasal Speculas, Ear Speculas, Koos Knives, etc. There are many more kinds of products available. We have both multiple use and single use (disposable) products (details about single use instruments). Please feel free to contact us.

Applications

Our Medical Instruments are typically used for medical, beauty, veterinary, and dental applications. We are open for other applications such as hobby applications (fish hook removal, plastic modeling).
