At G&J Steel & Tubing Inc., we bring decades of expertise to the medical industry, providing precision-manufactured components essential for advanced medical devices. Our focus is on manufacturing high-quality metal tubing solutions, specifically Trocar tubes and Micro Cannula needles, which are vital for specialized medical applications. We understand the critical nature of these components, where precision, reliability, and strict adherence to specifications are paramount.
Specialized Tubing for Medical Applications
Trocar Tubes
Trocar tubes are fundamental components in many surgical procedures, serving as access points for various instruments. At G&J Steel & Tubing, we manufacture Trocar tubes that meet the exacting standards required for medical use. Our advanced fabrication processes ensure that each Trocar tube is produced with precise dimensions, smooth surfaces, and consistent quality, enabling surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with confidence and accuracy.
Micro Cannula Needles
Micro Cannula needles are manufactured for precision in highly specialized medical applications where traditional injection needles fall short. These needles feature an exceptionally small diameter, sealed end and are crafted with EDM-drilled holes, which can only be achieved using advanced, specialized equipment. This level of precision is critical for applications where accurate delivery or collection of fluids is paramount.
Key applications for our Micro Cannula needles include:
- Dental Irrigation Systems: In negative pressure irrigation systems, cannula needles enable simultaneous suction and fluid delivery. These needles, featuring EDM-drilled holes and a sealed pencil-point tip, are crafted with exceptional precision to ensure effective cleaning and safety in dental procedures.
- LEU Generators: The cannula needles are critical in the elution process within LEU generators. They facilitate the precise movement of saline through the generator column, allowing for the accurate extraction of Technetium-99m from Molybdenum-99. These needles ensure the proper separation of isotopes, maintain system sterility, and enable the safe, precise dispensing of the radioactive solution for medical imaging purposes.
- Bone Harvesting: The cannula needles for bone harvesting systems are essential for minimally invasive procedures. Designed to penetrate bone with minimal trauma, these needles enable the efficient extraction of cancellous bone and marrow while preserving surrounding tissue integrity. Equipped with an internal suction mechanism, they draw harvested material into a collection chamber, ensuring safe and effective bone graft collection with reduced postoperative pain and quicker recovery times.
- Pedicle Access Needles: The pedicle access needles are sterile, single-use instruments designed for accurate and secure pedicle access in image-guided surgeries. They feature a high-precision facet cut tip, a rigid stainless steel cannula with a Luer-lock connector, and an extended length of 160mm for use with larger patients. The ergonomic design includes a visual and haptic lock/unlock control, ensuring precise and controlled operation during procedures.
The challenge of bending such small parts is another area where our expertise truly shines. Standard bending machines are inadequate for handling the tight radii and small diameters required for these applications. To address this, we utilize custom-designed bending dies and specialized bending machines, developed specifically to achieve the precise bends needed without compromising the integrity of the needle.
Our commitment to mastering these complex manufacturing processes ensures that every Micro Cannula needle meets the highest standards of precision and reliability, making them indispensable in the most demanding medical procedures.
