Erchinger develops and manufactures surgical instruments on behalf of leading MedTech companies — for spine, proctology and general surgery. From drawing to expert assembly: everything under one roof, made in Tuttlingen.
Erchinger is a development and manufacturing partner for MedTech companies. Whatever arrives with us as a drawing, prototype or optimisation idea leaves our works in Tuttlingen as a documented, release-ready product — ready for our customers' market, under their brand. We never act as a competitor of our own; we work exclusively as a reliable partner in the background.
In surgery, there are no compromises. No room for error.
Not an off-the-shelf mass product — but a partner who takes responsibility for development, manufacturing and documentation. Flip the cards for the story behind each point.
One point of contact instead of many interfaces — from the first sketch to series release.

From idea to finished, released instrument — Erchinger takes responsibility for every phase itself.
We work with you to find solutions for developing and optimising your surgical instruments — constructive, practical, manufacturing-ready.

Our machinery and manufacturing techniques meet the highest quality standards — validated, reproducible, audit-proof.

Qualified surgical instrument makers assemble every instrument expertly and with the utmost precision — ready for use in theatre.

Both routes lead to the same goal: a documented, release-ready instrument. The difference lies at the start — in what you bring to the table.
ER Solution stands for instruments developed precisely for a specific customer need — such as the toggle-action persuader. From the first sketch to a validated series product, this is where a tailor-made answer takes shape for requirements that don't yet have a standard solution.
Established, series-manufactured instrument ranges for three surgical specialisms — each with its own product page.

Precision instruments for spinal surgery, manufactured to customer-specific specifications.

Specialised proctological instruments — from individual items to complete sets.

Medical cannulas and suction devices, with the precision and manufacturing quality you'd expect from Erchinger.

From the first pedicle screw to the finished implant system — precision that must hold up reliably over hours in theatre.
Diagnosis and therapy in a specialism that demands the utmost precision in the smallest of spaces.
The basic instrumentation of every clinic — yet still bespoke whenever your project calls for it.
