Materials We Use

At PeakSurgicals, we prioritize quality and performance in every product we offer. Our instruments are crafted from premium materials, ensuring durability, precision, and reliability across a wide range of medical and surgical applications.

  • Stainless Steel:
    Known for its strength, resistance to corrosion, and long-lasting performance, stainless steel is the primary material used in most of our surgical, dental, and veterinary instruments.
  • Titanium:
    Lightweight and highly resistant to corrosion, titanium is often used in specialized instruments that require precision and strength, offering enhanced durability and performance.
  • Carbon Steel:
    Carbon steel is used in select instruments where sharpness and precision cutting edges are essential, making it ideal for tools that need to retain their sharpness for longer periods.
  • Medical-Grade Plastic:
    For non-invasive tools and accessories, we use medical-grade plastics that are lightweight, durable, and safe for use in clinical environments.
  • Silicone & Rubber:
    Used in grips, handles, and certain components, silicone and rubber offer comfort, non-slip surfaces, and protection for both the user and the instrument.
  • Ceramics:
    For some dental tools, we use high-quality ceramics that provide smooth, precise cutting, and are ideal for delicate procedures.

We carefully select the best materials to meet the stringent requirements of the medical, dental, and veterinary fields, ensuring our instruments not only perform at the highest standards but are also built to last.

Surgical Instruments Care:

  • Cleaning:
    After each use, thoroughly clean your surgical instruments using a soft brush and mild detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the surface of the instrument. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely to prevent rust.
  • Sterilization:
    Follow the sterilization guidelines provided with your instruments. Always use autoclaves or approved sterilization methods. Make sure instruments are dry before placing them back in storage.
  • Storage:
    Store instruments in a dry, clean place. Use a protective case or sterilization pouch to avoid direct contact with contaminants. Do not store instruments in damp or humid environments.
  • Inspection & Maintenance:
    Regularly inspect your instruments for any wear and tear. Sharpen blades and recondition tools as necessary. If you notice any issues, contact our customer support for recommendations or repairs.
