Swiss Machining Precision for Life-Enhancing Surgical Devices
Viant Orchard Park specializes in Swiss-style machining and clean room assembly for ultrasonic surgical devices and complex orthopedic implants. The site helped pioneer the ultrasonic surgical blade decades ago and still manufactures it today.
By integrating machining, finishing, and clean room assembly under one roof, Orchard Park provides a single, controlled path from raw material to a finished, packaged device.
Operators run the site around the clock, pairing automation with inspection to catch issues before they reach a customer. Orthopedic and surgical technology programs can count on the same quality standard, shift after shift.

| Core Capabilities | Our Approach | What it Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| NPI | Dedicated NPI team executing ViaLaunch™ methodology and 3P events, with cross-functional resources (PM, NPI Manager, QEs, MEs, Buyer) aligned from kickoff through production release. | New programs move from concept to validated production with fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and lower launch risk. |
| Program Management | Program management support grounded in EPMO and PMBOK® best practices, with Lean and Six Sigma principles embedded throughout. Viant's team aligns to program goals, proactively manages risk, and maintains clear communication at every stage. | Clear ownership and proactive risk management from kickoff through delivery that supports audit readiness. |
| Material Expertise | Machining expertise across titanium (about 80% of the work), stainless steel, cobalt chrome, aluminum, and specialty plastics. | Programs matched to a specific alloy or plastic get machining parameters tuned to the material. |
| Swiss-Style Machining | Over 100 Swiss machining centers producing components with diameters as small as 0.25 inch and tolerances as tight as ±0.0001 inch. | Small-diameter, high-tolerance components hold spec at production volume. |
| Precision Machining | Wire EDM and multi-axis milling, turning, and drilling round out the Swiss-machining line for features and part geometries outside typical Swiss-turn capability. | Wire EDM and conventional milling stay in-house, so a single supplier covers the full program. |
| Finishing | PTFE coating, laser marking, laser welding and etching, ultrasonic cleaning, color anodizing, and citric passivation performed in-house. | Machined components move through finishing without leaving the facility, cutting down handoffs and shipping delays. |
| Clean Room Assembly | ISO Class 8 clean room for assembly, kitting, and packaging. | Devices are assembled and packaged in a controlled environment that meets regulatory requirements for sterile, contamination-sensitive components. |
| Manufacturing Automation | Robot-assisted machining paired with automated surface conditioning and coating. | Cycle times hold steady as volumes scale. |
| Metrology & Inspection | Automated CMM and vision-system inspection integrated into the production line, alongside in-process measurement during machining and assembly. | Components are verified against spec before they leave the floor, catching deviations before they reach the customer. |
