All instruments are made of stainless steel otherwise specified. we believe in using the right steels for the correct surgical applications and our instruments have been accredited with certifications such as ISO 13485 certified rank, along with GMP as per standard guidelines.
Kara manufacturing under GMP, utilizing latest technology like CNC machining, hardening control and coating equipment. We only use certified material from reputable raw material suppliers with full traceability of all lots. Compliance with the international quality management systems also ensures that our instruments should wash and reprocess, In-house, we passivate all instruments to ensure that all impurities in the steel are detected prior to the instruments being despatched and the steels are appropriately oxidised.
The QA (Quality Assurance) Department checks the quality of instruments during the various stages of manufacturing and finally before it is packing, to ensure that every tool we produce must be of high quality.
Quality is always the result of intelligent efforts. Our team is available round the clock which helps us to reduce, eliminate and prevent any kind of discrepancy which could spoil the nature of products.

Our significant manufacturing steps are being described here-under briefly:
The purchased raw material is thoroughly tested under PQA authority. A rigid quality control policy is being adopted before releasing to production. This test is taken to check the standard of steel as per desired specifications and is considered the most important factor of our business
After testing, the stainless steel strips/bars are divided into different sizes as per our requirements and our highly experienced craftsmen are specialized in forging (Hot/Cold Drop) to perform all standard press operations in forming and deep drawing of all type of instruments. We anneal the forging and prepare for the milling process.
Our highly skilled technicians have a great knowledge about machine milling process. We form accurately male/female portion of box-joint forceps, as well as, serrations/ratches in uniformity. We are equipped to mill, drill, bore turn and grind all type of metals. We have in house facility of custom tool and die production, maintenance and repair.
We are specialized in handmade fabrication. First, we assemble male/female portion after setting/adjusting of extracting forceps and scissors, tips, serrations, ratches in uniformity and file precisely to make it semi-finish under strictly quality control specifications.
All instruments are being tempered maintaining “Rock-Well Hardness” for extracting forceps & retractor 45° to 50° degree and scalar. Gauges and scalpel 50° to 55° degree. A test is taken to check the hardness after tempering of each lot to maintain the uniformity and, before proceeding further, we clean all instruments by various chemicals. In addition, we will buy specialized Q/C equipment in near future to meet special customer Q/C. Specifications
We perform a wide variety of assembly operations from prototype quantities to production run. We rivet precisely each instrument such as extracting forceps and retractor, etc. But for some kind of instruments, we use spot welding
For precise grinding and excellent finish. We specialize in applying polishing wheels to belts to improve the overall finish in high uniformity utilizing best of polishing luster. We use electroplating plants to polish serrations/ratches and joints of stainless-steel instruments. For satin/mat finish instruments, we use glass heads to achieve uniformity. All instruments are being polished under rigid quality control specifications.
This method actually provides the instruments with its corrosion resistance properties. Passivation, which follows the final polishing step, is a chemical bath, which creates an oxidized layer on the surface of instruments. We are now equipped with most modern process.
We are full equipped with most modern ultrasonic cleaning plants and all instruments are being cleaned properly utilizing various chemicals such as, Tri-Chloroethylene etc.
We inspect all instruments under rigid Q/C. specifications and give the assurance to our relative clients that all instruments shall be free from all defects such as, burrs, sharp edges, cracks, pitting, scratches, grease/excessive oil and foreign matters etc. we also guarantee for its workmanship. For stamping. We use both process i.e., die sunk and electrolytic marking and are being marked under customers specifications.
We pack all instruments under strictly Q/C specifications as per customer’s demand. Normally, we pack individually in poly bag and further 12 pieces in one box mentioning outside with part number, description and lot number. All instruments are packed in poly bags/plastic/color bags, Blister packing with adequate desiccant in each poly bag to absorb moisture. We are specialized in packaging, labeling and bar coding as per customer demand.
