Engelken International, LLC

Representing International Surgical Instrument & Implant System Designers & Manufacturers


The new healthcare economy demands lower costs without sacrificing quality. We answer that demand. Engelken International, with over 20 years of medical device experience, connects you directly to German orthopedic and spinal surgical instrument manufacturers. The right ones for your instrument needs.

As the former President of KMedic USA and Germany, I have unique knowledge of your custom instrument needs: speed to market, excellent design and timely communication. With over 500 companies in the Tuttlingen, Germany area to choose from, how do you pick the right partner for your project? Who has the experience, the equipment and the necessary process validations?
In the last 5 years I've spent over 500 days in Germany, reviewing facilities, looking at each company’s expertise, and examining their equipment, QA and personnel. I’ll connect you directly with the right company for you and facilitate the relationship. Develop faster and better products for less cost.
 
Our ISO certified, FDA registered companies manufacture from full material and forgings on CNC milling, grinding and turning machines up to 17 axis, wire EDM and water Jet. Each company has one or more licensed Instrument Masters in-house. The Instrument Master program and licensing takes a minimum of 8 years of study dedicated solely to surgical instruments. You won’t find this dedication to instruments anywhere else in the world.

Most of our manufacturers also have development and manufacturing engineers and 3-D computer aided design programs. The German manufacturers we represent have invested in the latest machinery; they carry liability insurance and are ready to help you develop your next set of instruments. These could be instruments for your new implant or the next great instrument design that helps save the surgeon time and provides better patient outcomes.

Engelken International is located right here in the US. Call today and get connected directly to the finest in German manufacturing.
