FAQs:
What material is used for the Precision CNC Milling Liposuction Needle, and is it biocompatible?
The liposuction needle is made from medical-grade 316L stainless steel tubing, which is certified to ASTM A269 and complies with ISO 13485 for traceability. It is biocompatible per ISO 10993-1 standards, ensuring safety for surgical use.
How does the CNC milling process ensure precision in the liposuction needle's design?
Advanced multi-axis CNC milling allows for simultaneous turning and milling operations, creating complex tip geometries and aspiration ports with high dimensional accuracy. Critical features are held to tolerances of ±0.05 mm, and the process includes intensive deburring and electrophishing for a smooth, atraumatic finish.
What applications are these liposuction needles suitable for?
These needles are designed for surgical liposuction, body contouring, and fat grafting procedures, including tumescent, ultrasound-assisted, and laser-assisted liposuction. They are also used in veterinary cosmetic surgery for similar body contouring applications.
What quality controls are in place during manufacturing?
Each cannula undergoes 100% dimensional inspection using video measurement systems or CMM, comprehensive cleaning to meet ISO 11737-1 bioburden standards, and is supplied with metrology reports. The manufacturing process is conducted under ISO 13485, with support for regulatory requirements like Design History Files for OEMs.
