Yes. Tecan manufactures precision photochemically etched metal components for medical devices, including microneedles, dermaroller needles, fluidic channels, flow discs and fine surgical and diagnostic components.
Yes. Photochemical etching produces burr-free, stress-free parts with clean edges and no heat-affected zone, which suits medical components where sharpness, cleanliness and repeatability are critical. Tecan can etch bio-inert metals such as stainless steel and nickel alloys for medical applications.
Tecan manufactures etched microneedles and dermaroller needles, microfluidic channels, flow discs and flow regulators, precision filters and meshes, and other fine-featured metal parts used in medical and diagnostic devices.
Yes. Tecan operates an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified quality management system and can supply First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs) with full material traceability to support regulated medical manufacturing.
Tecan’s photochemical etching achieves a minimum feature size of approximately 20µm, with a typical tolerance of ±10% of material thickness above 0.15mm and ±15µm minimum below 0.15mm, on material from 25µm to 2mm thick.
Yes. Tecan offers design support and co-development from prototype to volume production, and because photochemical etching uses digital tooling, it can produce medical prototypes directly from drawings within days.
