Why Tungsten Carbide?

Tungsten carbide is among the hardest materials known and is sometimes referred to as “man-made diamond.” The primary advantage of 

tungsten carbide is its hardness which makes it very resistant to wear and corrosion. 

To obtain its unique hardness, the unhardened tungsten carbide is heat treated or “sintered” at 1454° C to 3200° C. 

Tungsten carbide inserts used in our surgical instruments enhance their performance and longevity. The inserts are micro bonded to the 

working end of the device to provide years of increased performance. Tungsten carbide needle holders and forceps grasp more securely 

and are more durable than their stainless steel counterparts. Tungsten carbide scissors and bone rasps cut better and need much less 

sharpening than similar conventional instruments.
