CNC Machined Surgical Instruments for Medical Teams
Medical teams in Minneapolis need surgical instruments that are exact, clean, and documented. We machine forceps, retractors, bone rasps, and cutting guides from 316L stainless, titanium, and 17-4 PH to ±0.0005". Every order ships with a CMM report and material certs.
Medical-Grade Materials
316L stainless, titanium, and 17-4 PH with mill certs.
Tight Tolerances
±0.0005" on critical fits. CMM inspection on every order.
Full Documentation
Inspection reports and material certs for your ISO 13485 audit.
The Medical Device Capital of the World
Minneapolis is the undisputed global hub of medical device innovation — Medtronic, the world's largest pure-play med device company, is headquartered in Fridley. Boston Scientific's cardiac rhythm and electrophysiology division operates from Arden Hills, Abbott's (formerly St. Jude Medical) neuromodulation and cardiac device campus is in St. Paul, and Smiths Medical, SurModics, and Cardiovascular Systems round out a cluster of over 500 device companies across the Twin Cities.
RivCut serves Twin Cities med device teams with FDA-compliant machining, instant quoting, and complete documentation — so your Medtronic or Boston Scientific design validation parts arrive on time with clean cert packages.
