Engineered for high-demand trauma centers and outpatient surgical clinics across the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle and the broader Puget Sound region represent a premier global hub for biomedical innovation, clinical research, and advanced healthcare delivery. Home to world-renowned institutions such as UW Medicine, Harborview Medical Center (the only Level 1 adult and pediatric trauma center in the state of Washington), and Swedish Medical Center, the local demand for high-performance orthopedic implants is exceptionally rigorous.
With an active, outdoor-oriented population engaged in sports, hiking, and alpine activities, Seattle's orthopedic surgeons require implants that facilitate rapid recovery, minimally invasive procedures, and long-term biomechanical stability. Cannulated screws, designed for precise percutaneous insertion over guide wires, are fundamental to treating complex fractures of the femoral neck, scaphoid, calcaneus, and tibial plateau.
HBM Medical bridges the gap between high-volume manufacturing efficiency and the uncompromising quality standards demanded by the Pacific Northwest healthcare ecosystem, offering direct-from-factory logistics tailored for Seattle's medical networks.
Uncompromising metallurgical integrity and design precision engineered for optimal bone compression.
Manufactured exclusively from medical-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) conforming to ASTM F136. This material provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior fatigue resistance, and excellent biocompatibility, minimizing the risk of adverse tissue reactions and implant failure in active patients.
Our screws feature highly concentric inner lumens designed to glide seamlessly over surgical guide wires. This allows for precise percutaneous placement under fluoroscopic guidance, minimizing soft tissue disruption and reducing overall operating room time for complex trauma cases.
Featuring self-tapping and self-drilling cutting flutes, our cannulated screws reduce insertion torque while maximizing bone purchase. The dual-thread design (proximal and distal) provides controlled interfragmentary compression, essential for stable internal fixation.
As a leading orthopedic medical equipment R&D and manufacturing enterprise in China, HBM Medical operates a state-of-the-art production site spanning over 30,000 square meters. Equipped with 12 highly automated production lines and more than 120 advanced processing and testing machines, we ensure consistent high-volume output without compromising on precision.
Our facility is backed by a robust team of 31 R&D engineers (including postgraduates and doctorates) who continuously innovate to launch over 25 new products annually. We offer extensive customization options, including sample processing, graphic processing, and customized on-demand manufacturing to meet the specific anatomical preferences of Seattle's surgical networks.
By leveraging our centralized supply chain, advanced raw material sourcing, and economies of scale, we provide Seattle distributors and hospital networks with premium-grade implants at a fraction of the cost of traditional domestic manufacturers.
Navigating the regulatory landscape of medical device procurement requires absolute transparency and rigorous certification. HBM Medical is fully certified under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP), ISO 13485:2016, and holds CE certifications (EPT 0477.MDR.25/5905 & 5973) compliant with the latest European Medical Device Regulations (MDR).
For our partners in Seattle, we guarantee complete raw material traceability, providing mill test certificates and chemical analysis reports for every batch of titanium alloy used. Our 36 dedicated QA/QC inspectors execute 100% inspection protocols across all production lines, ensuring that every cannulated screw meets or exceeds ASTM and ISO standards before shipment.
We provide localized logistics support, offering flexible shipping options (FOB, CIF, DDP) directly to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) or the Port of Seattle. Our dedicated international trade team ensures seamless customs clearance, complete documentation, and structured inventory buffer programs to prevent supply chain disruptions.

Staying ahead of the curve in minimally invasive surgery and smart implant manufacturing.
The global shift toward MIS is driving the demand for smaller, highly precise cannulated screws. By reducing incision sizes, surgeons in Seattle clinics can minimize postoperative pain, accelerate rehabilitation, and decrease hospital stay durations, aligning perfectly with outpatient surgery center models.
While bioabsorbable polymers are gaining traction for specific low-load applications, high-strength Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) remains the gold standard for load-bearing trauma fixations. HBM Medical continues to optimize surface treatments (such as anodization) to enhance osseointegration and reduce bacterial adhesion.
Integrating advanced CNC Swiss-type lathes with digital design software allows for micro-customizations in thread pitch and length. This high-fidelity manufacturing ensures that custom-designed Herbert and countersunk screws perfectly match specific patient anatomies for complex reconstructive surgeries.
