For over six decades, The Ohio Broach & Machine Company has been a leader in precision broaching, serving industries from aerospace to healthcare. Its expertise in machining complex medical components—from implants to surgical tools—has made it a trusted partner for healthcare organizations requiring high-tolerance, high-quality parts.
The company specializes in a wide range of broaching techniques, including internal broaching for precise channels in implants, surface broaching for finishing surgical tool edges, and blind spline broaching for components like bone screws. Its ability to handle irregular shapes allows for customization in patient-specific implants. Ohio Broach works with biocompatible metals such as stainless steel for surgical implants, titanium alloys for orthopedic devices, and copper and brass for diagnostic equipment.
At its facility, Ohio Broach operates advanced machinery, including horizontal and vertical broaching machines for multi-axis precision, CNC shaper equipment for repeatability in high-volume production, and dual-ram systems for complex geometries. This in-house capability ensures efficiency and tight tolerances, critical for FDA-compliant medical devices.
Among its key medical applications are surgical implants, which the company machines with serrations and radii in just two passes to ensure structural integrity. The company also produces essential surgical tools like hemostats, where straddle-broaching at joint areas achieves optimal tension and durability. Additionally, Ohio Broach supports prototyping and small-batch production for specialized medical devices.
Healthcare clients rely on Ohio Broach for its precision, with tolerances held within microns, as well as its streamlined processes that reduce lead times without sacrificing quality. Engineers collaborate closely with medical manufacturers to meet stringent industry standards. With its extensive machinery portfolio and deep material expertise, Ohio Broach continues to drive innovation in medical broaching, ensuring reliability for life-saving tools and implants.
