IncisionTech creates niche in ophthalmic market for super sharp, lower volume razor blade product
A leading ophthalmic instrument OEM was looking for a supplier for razor blades that could be used in a new ophthalmic instrument. It is very common for standard razor blade product to be purchased and modified to fit the needs of a special cutting device. However, in this case, the needs of the new instrument were such that no standard razor blade could be found and purchased for modification and no razor blade manufacturer was interested in custom making a small quantity of parts for this very special application.
The OEM partnered with IncisionTech in the development of a custom razor blade, designed specifically for this new device. Even though the annual volume requirements were small, the manufacturing processes developed and applied at IncisionTech enabled a very cost effective means to produce a high performing product.
Results for the OEM were impressive! The problems associated with sourcing a standard razor blade, only to have to modify it for a specific need, were eliminated.
