Precision Manufacturing for Life-Saving Medical Devices
Elcon Precision delivers medically compliant, extremely reliable, brazed assemblies and components for critical healthcare technologies. With over 4 decades of honing our craft in ceramic-to-metal and metal-to-metal brazing, we support leading medical OEMs with solutions that meet the most demanding regulatory, performance, and quality standards.
Our components are trusted in a vast range of life-saving applications and products, from implantable devices to surgical systems, in an environment where the saying “failure is not an option”, isn’t just a motivational talking point, it’s a stark reality that we take very seriously.
Built for the Demands of Modern Medicine
In the medical industry, precision isn’t just critical, it’s the difference between life or death. Every single component must meet precise quality standards for cleanliness, traceability, and biocompatibility. Equally as important, the technicians at Elcon processing the component or system, must also adhere to the same cleanliness practices you’d expect from your surgeon or nurse.
We understand what’s at stake, most importantly patient safety, long-term reliability, and clinical performance. It’s for this very reason that Elcon is continually engaged by top medical device manufacturers to tackle complex brazing applications.
