Custom Surgical Instruments and Private Label Manufacturing
Built to Your Exact Specifications
Not every instrument a surgeon needs exists in a catalog. Intrace USA manufactures custom surgical and dental instruments to your specification — a modified tip, a different curve, a pattern nobody makes any more, or a complete set built to your own list.
We own the factory, so the minimum order is one piece. One instrument, made to your drawing, your sample, or your photograph. That applies to private label too: your brand on a single instrument if that is what you need.

Minimum Custom Order
Custom surgical instruments we make
Minimum order: one
on every custom order
One instrument. One modified pattern. One privately labelled piece. There is no minimum quantity on custom work, and no separate threshold for putting your brand on it.
Most instrument manufacturers will not open a production run for fewer than a hundred pieces, because they are quoting a factory they do not control. We own ours, which is why a single instrument is worth making.
Send us the instrument you cannot replace
Surgeons keep instruments that are no longer made — a favourite elevator, a pattern from a company that closed, something modified years ago by a technician who has since retired. When it wears out, there is usually nowhere to go.
An orthopedic surgeon at a major US teaching hospital sent us two of his own custom elevators. We measured them, reproduced them exactly to his specification, and returned the originals. If you have an instrument like that, post it to us.
Materials and finishes for custom surgical instruments
Every instrument starts as surgical-grade stainless steel, with the grade chosen for the instrument rather than for the order — a cutting edge and a retractor are not asking the same thing of the metal.
We work in titanium for microsurgical and ophthalmic instruments. It is appreciably lighter in the hand than steel, which is what matters when the same instrument is held for the length of a case.
Tungsten carbide inserts are fitted to needle holders, scissors and forceps where edge life matters. Gold or titanium-nitride handles make carbide instruments identifiable on the tray at a glance.
Who makes them
Since the 1970s
Our factory is a family business, now in its second and third generation of instrument makers.
We own the factory
Ask for a curve that does not exist yet and the answer comes from the bench, not from a purchasing department relaying a question to a supplier.
Inspected in the USA
Every instrument is inspected in the United States before it is distributed to your facility.
Intrace USA is the trading name of Pilotis Tech LLC, a Georgia company based in Brookhaven, just outside Atlanta.
Pilotis Tech LLC is a registered device establishment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. FDA establishment registration is an administrative filing; it does not constitute FDA approval or clearance of any device.
How a custom order works
From the first photograph to a delivered instrument — here is exactly what happens, and how long each part takes.
A drawing, a photograph, a written description with dimensions, or the instrument itself in the post. No formal spec sheet is required — a rough idea is a good starting point.
We confirm the instrument can be made, and come back with unit price and lead time. If you did not send a drawing, we produce one and send it for your approval before anything is cut.
We make one instrument and send it to you before the production run. The sample is charged, and the cost comes off the order. Nothing goes into production until you have held it.
Four to eight weeks from the approved design. Every instrument is inspected in the United States before it ships to your facility, anywhere in the country.
