“Ain’t that tough enough?” asked the Fabulous Thunderbirds in their hit song of the ‘80s. As our team heads for the OMTEC 2025 show in Chicago, we’re packing tough stainless steel tubes for tough orthopedic applications.
Stop by and see us at booth 213. We look forward to meeting with customers to discuss tubing solutions to help solve their challenges, including performance problems like splitting or failing during clinical use and tube sourcing issues like capacity and lead times.
We know Sports Medicine. It’s our largest market, and we have more than 30 years of experience supplying welded-and-drawn 17-7 stainless steel tubing for these types of orthopedic applications. As demand increases for smaller, longer tubes with thinner walls, 17-7 gives you the strength to optimize your design compared with traditional 304 stainless steel.
But our “secret sauce” is the draw process. We have the intellectual property and the expertise to engineer a high-quality, precision tube with the strength to withstand the rigors of fabrication and hold up to punishing applications like orthopedic drivers and reamers.

- Swiss-machine-ready tubing
We supply stainless steel tubing to precision Swiss machining companies, featuring centerless-ground outside diameters (ODs) and square-cut, bar-loader-ready ends. - Capacity & lead time
When you’re ready to scale, we’ve got the capacity you need. With expanded operations and new equipment, we can take on large-volume orders with lead times as fast as 10–14 weeks. - Accelerate lead times with quick-turn prototypes
Our dedicated Hot Shop provides stainless steel tubing for qualification builds and pilot runs, delivering material in as little as four weeks.
And hey, Fabulous Thunderbirds, the answer is “YES.” Our tubing is plenty tough enough!
