Needle Grinding from Wytech
Wytech has diligently advanced its precision grinding capabilities over the last several years and is well qualified to meet the precision grinding requirements of most medical device wire and tubing component jobs, including needle grinding.
Hypodermic, stainless-steel tubing is one of the most common materials used in medical devices, one of those being the hypodermic needle. Wytech’s proprietary 5-Axis systems produce unique, multi-profile grinds and features not possible with conventional tip or point grinding equipment. Particularly, Menghini features or skived and scalloped tubes with varying grind angles for biopsy, aspirator needle sets, and more are ideally suited for Wytech’s FlexGrind program.
