What Are You Looking to Build, Inspect, or Improve?

Medical OEMs usually come to UPC for one of three reasons: a surgical driver system, a custom inspection solution, or precision medical manufacturing support.

Driver Systems

I Need a Surgical Driver

Self-retaining drivers, orthopedic drivers, dental drivers, cannulated drivers, custom interfaces, and prototype development.

Inspection

I Need a Custom Gage

Medical gages, driver gages, retention checks, thread inspection, runout, concentricity, and validation-focused fixtures.

Manufacturing

I Need Precision Production

CNC Swiss, 4 and 5 axis machining, grinding, EDM, finishing, passivation, laser marking, and production support.
