Growing metal stamping Industries: Medical Equipment

The medical industry has recently taken off. The United States is the largest medical device market in the world, currently estimated at $156 billion dollar industry and expected to grow to $208 billion by 2023.

As the medical industry continues to grow so does the number of specialized tools and parts needed to be used in order to advance or medical equipment. The medical technology/devices industry consists of instruments, apparatuses and machines that are used to diagnose, treat, detect, monitor, measure, restore, correct, modify our bodies in some form or another.

Medical equipment often contains numerous tiny metal stamped parts that require precision manufacturing techniques to make. Often when people think of medical equipment they may think of the basics that they see in a doctor’s office like a stethoscope or needles but no more than ever hospitals are basically being run by machines. Beyond the computer that sets up and schedules patient’s appointments, there are machines tracking each patient’s vitals such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and many other important vitals. There’s the alarm that goes off if one of that vitals isn’t where it should be. There are now even machines that receive the alarm and determine it’s severity so the doctors will know which patients need to be seen first and who can wait.
