How is orthopedic surgery performed?

The process starts with assessing the patient's condition, followed by diagnosis and treatment planning. According to the diagnosis, the patient can get non-surgical interventions (medication and physical treatment). If non-surgical methods are ineffective, the surgeon might recommend surgical intervention.

The surgeon administers anesthesia, makes an incision, and conducts required repairs or replacements during orthopedic surgery to ensure the comfort and safety of their patients.

The success of such surgeries depends on careful planning, precise incisions, and specialized equipment. One of the most crucial tools in these procedures is custom-made blades. These blades are designed to meet the specific requirements of each surgery, ensuring that surgeons have the most effective tools to perform demanding surgeries with precision.

How does Baucor collaborate with industry partners?

How are medical blades manufactured?

Cutting
The first step in manufacturing is to use a CNC machine to cut the blade to the desired shape.
Heating
Next, the blade is put through a heat treatment process to harden the metal and make it more durable.
Sharpening
After heating, the blade is sharpened to remove any imperfections. A grinding process is then used to refine and make the blade sharper.
Coating
By coating the tips of blades with these metals, the blade can better withstand wear and tear. It can prolong the blade's lifespan.

Which material should you use for the blades?

Orthopedic surgery often involves using various materials for custom blades and saws. The choice of material depends on the surgeon’s preference, the surgery's nature, and the instrument's specific requirements. Surgical blades must meet stringent standards for biocompatibility, sterilizability, precision, and durability to ensure the patient’s safety and the success of procedures.

At Baucor, we offer the following materials:

Stainless steel: The most used material for surgical instruments, including orthopedic blades and saws. It is a durable, corrosion-resistant material and easily sterilized.
Carbon steel: Another option, it is known for its sharpness and ability to hold an edge well. However, it is less corrosion-resistant than stainless steel.
Tungsten carbide: It combines tungsten and carbon, giving it exceptional durability and resistance to wear material often used for the tips or edges of blades.
