Capillary Tube OEM Manufacturing for Needle Components
Surgical Needle Manufacturing: Precision & Reliability Surgical needles are among the most critical components in medical applications. A single needle must meet exacting standards for sharpness, dimensional accuracy, material strength, and surface quality. As an experienced surgical needle OEM manufacturer, we produce stainless steel hypodermic needles, biopsy needles, and specialty surgical needles for global medical device companies. Types of Surgical Needles We Manufacture Hypodermic Needles Gauge OD (mm) ID (mm) Common Applications 25G 0.508 0.260 Intramuscular injection, blood sampling 27G 0.406 0.216 Subcutaneous injection, insulin delivery 30G 0.305 0.152 Insulin pen needles, pediatric use 32G 0.234 0.102 CGM sensors, micro-fluidic applications Biopsy Needles Core Biopsy Needles: OD 1.0-2.0mm, wall 0.1-0.2mm, for tissue sampling Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA): OD 0.5-0.8mm, ultra-sharp bevel for cellular sampling Automotive/Biopsy Cutting Needles: 420J2 stainless steel, hardened to 50-55 HRC Specialty Surgical Needles Laparoscopic Access Needles: Veress needles for insufflation Acupuncture Needles: OD 0.16-0.35mm, precision sharp tips Dental Needles: Endodontic files, periodontal probes Veterinary Needles: Large bore, high-wall thickness for animal applications Material Selection Grade Standard Hardness Applications 304 ASTM A269 ≤92 HRB General needles, non-sterile instruments 316L ASTM A269 ≤95 HRB Implantable, biocompatible needles 316LVM ASTM F138 / ISO 5832-1 ≤95 HRB Surgical implants, orthopedic devices 420J2 ASTM A276 50-55 HRC Surgical blades, cutting needles, scissors Manufacturing Process for Surgical Needles Tube Selection — Certified stainless steel capillary tube with EN 10204 3.1 Precision Cutting — Laser or rotary cutting to exact length Bevel Grinding — Multi-angle bevel (15°-30°) for sharp penetration Tip Forming — Trocar tip, cutting tip, or blunt tip per application Electropolishing — Ultra-smooth surface (Ra ≤0.2μm) for easy tissue penetration Passivation — Nitric or citric acid passivation for corrosion resistance Cleaning & Packaging — Ultrasonic cleaning, cleanroom packaging, sterile or non-sterile 100% Inspection — Dimensional, sharpness, visual, leak testing Quality Control…
