About Inomed Technology SA
Inomed Technology SA was founded in 2006 by three medical technology experts and is headquartered with production in Courtelary in the Bernese Jura, Switzerland. The company develops and manufactures customized sterilization, washing, and transport sieves for surgical instruments and implants, specializing in Orthopedics, Traumatology, and Spine Surgery. The product range includes sieves made of perforated sheet metal as well as wire mesh sieves; through the Vehomed consortium (Inomed Technology SA and NTOC medische techniek BV), customers are supplied worldwide. All manufacturing processes follow the Swiss-Made principle in Switzerland: cutting and bending of metal sheets, electrolytic marking and screen printing, injection molding of PPSU profiles, machining, deburring, cleaning, and assembly, as well as final inspection and shipping. The company is certified according to ISO 13485 (BSI) and approved as an FDA contract manufacturer; since January 2010, over 160,000 sterilization sieves have been delivered.
