Iran Joins Exclusive Group of Surgical Blade Manufacturers

An Iranian knowledge-based company has produced surgical blades that only a few companies are selling worldwide because of the specialized technology involved.
“The production of surgical blades, despite their simple appearance, requires a complex technological process. For the production of these surgical blades, four processes are required, one of which is the steel heating process,” Shahriar Homayoun Farmanesh, the CEO of Mathlab Electronic Paydar Company, was quoted as saying by the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.
“Usually, the highest accuracy that Computer Numerical Control machines have is one-hundredth of a millimeter, while the tip of surgical blades is 60 nanometers, for which an electronic microscope must be used to measure its size.”
