In the medical device industry, precision isn’t just about meeting tolerances—it’s about saving lives, reducing patient risk, and delivering consistent quality in every single component. At Kremin Inc., we understand the weight of that responsibility because we live it every day.
Whether you’re an established OEM launching your next generation of surgical tools or a startup developing a new implantable device, choosing the right manufacturing partner is one of the most critical decisions you’ll make. At Kremin Inc., we’ve built a reputation as a trusted, ISO 13485:2016-certified contract manufacturer that specializes in high-precision, complex machining for the medical device industry.
Below outlines the reasons why medical device developers and manufacturers across the country choose Kremin Inc. as their go-to CNC machining partner—and why you should too.
1. We Understand Medical Device Manufacturing
We’re not a general-purpose machine shop trying to break into the medical market—we’re already here.
For years, Kremin Inc. has worked closely with medical device companies to produce high-complexity parts used in:
- Orthopedic implants
- Spinal cages and interbody devices
- Surgical tools and assemblies
- Diagnostic equipment housings and hardware
- Dental components
- Catheter and fluid control systems
We’ve invested in the equipment, training, and quality systems required to support the highly regulated, fast-evolving world of medical manufacturing. Our understanding of biocompatible materials, traceability standards, FDA expectations, and product lifecycle management makes us a true value-adding partner, not just a vendor.
2. ISO 13485:2016-Certified Quality System
Quality isn’t an add-on at Kremin Inc.—it’s baked into our process.
We maintain full ISO 13485:2016 certification, the gold standard for quality management systems in medical device manufacturing. This ensures we are fully aligned with regulatory and customer expectations for documentation, risk management, process control, and product traceability.
Every part we produce undergoes robust inspection protocols, including:
- First article inspections
- In-process checks using CMMs, vision systems, and laser micrometers
- Final inspections with traceable reports
- Full lot traceability from raw material to finished part
This rigorous process ensures peace of mind for our customers, knowing that the parts we deliver will perform exactly as expected, every time.
3. Precision CNC Machining at Its Best
The components used in medical devices require some of the tightest tolerances in manufacturing, often within ±0.0002”. We’re fully equipped to meet those demands.
At Kremin Inc., we operate a range of advanced CNC machines, including:
- Swiss-style lathes for ultra-small, high-precision parts
- 5-axis machining centers for complex geometries and high-mix production
- Multi-spindle turning centers for efficient, repeatable part runs
- Precision milling equipment for detailed surface finishes and contours
Our team of skilled machinists and engineers excels at handling intricate features, miniature parts, thin-walled geometries, and exotic materials. Whether your design calls for micro-drilled holes, mirror-finish surfaces, or a complex assembly, we have the tooling and expertise to deliver.
4. Material Expertise and Biocompatibility Know-How
The medical industry uses a range of materials that require careful handling during machining to preserve performance, safety, and compliance.
We regularly machine:
- Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) – Ideal for implants due to its strength, light weight, and biocompatibility.
- Stainless Steels (316L, 17-4PH) – Used for surgical tools and housings due to corrosion resistance and strength.
- PEEK and other medical-grade plastics – Common in orthopedic and spinal implants.
- Aluminum alloys – Lightweight options for diagnostic and imaging components.
We understand how to machine these materials efficiently while maintaining critical properties like surface finish, tolerance, and chemical stability. We also partner with trusted suppliers to ensure all materials meet ASTM, ISO, and customer-specific requirements.
5. From Prototype to Production—Seamlessly
Medical device development is a journey. You need a partner who can evolve with you, from early-stage prototyping to full-scale production.
Kremin Inc. offers flexible manufacturing solutions to meet your needs at every phase:
Prototyping
We help engineers bring their designs to life quickly and cost-effectively, with prototype runs using production-grade materials and tolerances. Our experienced team can offer design-for-manufacturability (DFM) feedback to help you avoid downstream issues.
Low-Volume Runs
Whether you’re preparing for clinical trials or ramping up to market launch, we provide low-to-mid volume production with consistent quality and traceability.
High-Volume Production
When it’s time to scale, our robust equipment and lean processes ensure high-output production that maintains tight tolerances and minimizes cost-per-part.
Having one trusted partner for all phases reduces risk, shortens development time, and ensures knowledge is retained throughout the lifecycle of your product.
6. Speed and Agility That Match Your Pace
We understand that speed matters in the medtech world. Regulatory timelines, market windows, and competitive pressures mean you need a manufacturing partner who can move fast—without compromising quality.
We offer:
- Rapid quoting and project onboarding
- Quick-turn prototypes
- Flexible scheduling for urgent jobs
- Kanban and JIT fulfillment programs for production parts
Thanks to our in-house programming, tooling, machining, and inspection, we can compress lead times and respond quickly to design changes or production adjustments.
7. Clean, Reliable, and Fully Documented
Cleanliness is crucial for medical components. Even if parts aren’t sterile when they leave our facility, they must be manufactured and packaged in a way that prevents contamination and supports downstream sterilization.
At Kremin, we implement:
- Ultrasonic parts cleaning systems
- Dedicated work areas for medical parts
- Protective packaging and labeling
- Full traceability and documentation
These practices ensure that our parts integrate cleanly into your quality-controlled supply chain and pass your incoming inspections without issue.
8. Collaborative Engineering and DFM Support
We’re more than machinists—we’re problem solvers. Our team of engineers and manufacturing specialists actively collaborates with our medical clients to improve manufacturability, reduce costs, and enhance part performance.
We help with:
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews
- Material and tolerance optimization
- Assembly simplification
- Process validation and IQ/OQ/PQ support
By involving us early in your design process, you’ll avoid downstream headaches and make smarter decisions that save time and money later.
9. Reliable, Transparent Communication
We believe that strong relationships are built on transparency, accountability, and responsiveness. You’ll never be left guessing when you work with Kremin.
Our project management and customer service teams provide:
- Clear timelines and delivery commitments
- Regular progress updates
- Open communication on challenges and solutions
- Full responsiveness to change requests or engineering updates
We act like a true extension of your team, because your success is our success.
