AS Products

AS instruments are primarily manufactured in Tuttlingen, the global centre of medical technology, by selected production partners. The process of producing surgical instruments combines high-tech methods with traditional, manual workmanship. From the selection of corrosion-resistant stainless steels through the actual production and refining to finishing, adherence to strict quality standards is ensured at every stage.
