At Shark Instruments, we understand that the
quality of surgical instruments begins with the raw materials used
in their construction. Our commitment to excellence means we source only
the highest-grade metals and alloys, ensuring superior performance,
durability, and corrosion resistance.

Why Material Quality Matters in Surgical Instruments

 Precision & Performance – High-quality materials ensure sharpness, strength, and reliability during critical procedures.
 Longevity – Resistant to wear, corrosion, and repeated sterilization.
 Biocompatibility – Safe for medical use, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
 Compliance with International Standards – Meets ISO, FDA, and CE requirements for surgical tools.

Materials We Use in Manufacturing

1. Medical-Grade Stainless Steel (German & French)

• Grade 420 & 440 Stainless Steel – High carbon content for exceptional hardness and edge retention.
• Martensitic Stainless Steel – Ideal for scalpels, scissors, and cutting instruments due to its sharpness and durability.
• Austenitic Stainless Steel (316L) – Highly corrosion-resistant, perfect for implants and reusable instruments.

2. Titanium & Titanium Alloys

• Lightweight yet extremely strong – Reduces surgeon fatigue during long procedures.
• Biocompatible & hypoallergenic – Ideal for implants and sensitive surgical applications.
• Superior corrosion resistance – Withstands repeated sterilization without degradation.

3. High-Carbon Steel (For Specialized Cutting Tools)

• Exceptional hardness & sharpness – Used in bone cutters, osteotomes, and high-precision blades.
• Tempered for durability – Maintains edge retention even after repeated use.

4. Tungsten Carbide Inserts (For Enhanced Performance)

• Extreme hardness & wear resistance – Used in needle holders, scissors, and rongeurs for a longer lifespan.
• Non-slip grip – Provides better control in delicate procedures.

5. Ceramic & Composite Materials (For Specialized Applications)

• Non-metallic, non-conductive – Used in electrosurgical and MRI-compatible instruments.
• Lightweight & corrosion-proof – Suitable for minimally invasive tools.

Our Material Testing & Quality Assurance

• Chemical Composition Analysis – Ensures compliance with medical-grade standards.
• Hardness & Tensile Strength Testing – Validates durability and performance.
• Corrosion Resistance Testing – Confirms longevity under repeated sterilization.
• Biocompatibility Testing – Guarantees safety for patient contact.
