The Problem

With an instrument, quality shows
too late. Namely in the OR.

In microsurgery, every hundredth of a millimeter counts. Yet the operating room is supplied with interchangeable mass-produced goods whose quality no one guarantees. Three reasons why that ends up costing more than the low purchase price promises.

Origin

Unclear origin

Imported goods change from batch to batch. Without traceable manufacturing and documentation, every delivery becomes a lucky dip, and in an emergency nothing can be traced back.

Quality

Variation instead of consistency

When every instrument closes, grips and cuts slightly differently, in the end the surgeon's hand compensates for the weakness. Concentration that is needed for the patient goes into the tool.

Service

Sold, not supported

A catalog delivers and is then gone. It develops nothing with you, repairs nothing afterwards and makes no custom instrument to your drawing. You are left on your own.

The Truth

An instrument is simply not
just an instrument.

The Misconception

“As long as it holds and is cheap. Precision is the same everywhere in the end.”

This is how buying works when an instrument is treated as a consumable. Price decides, origin is secondary, and differences are not noticeable in the catalog. Only on the tissue does it show what a tenth too much play means.

The Truth

In microsurgery, the micrometer decides, not the millimeter.

Precision is not a price tag, but craftsmanship. It emerges where a machine alone can no longer go: in the fine grind, in the feel for perfect balance, in the final inspection under the microscope. These exact steps cannot be rationalized away, they can only be mastered.

How precision is made

Over 40 steps before an instrument bears our name.

From the first sketch to final inspection, every step follows the same promise: uncompromising quality. An excerpt from the path every instrument takes.

Design

Every instrument begins at the drawing board, developed together with surgeons.

CNC sliding headstock lathe at MICROQORE

CNC Machining

State-of-the-art CNC technology shapes the blank to the micrometer.

Laser Welding

Durable joints on filigree components, where experience guides the machine.

Hand Finishing

The fine grind and the balance are created in hands trained over years.

Microscope Inspection

Inspected, adjusted and released. Only then does an instrument leave the building.

Why we do this

Behind every instrument stands a patient.

We believe in a world where every surgeon holds the perfect instrument in their hand. Not just any tool, but one as precise as the operation it enables. We carry this responsibility not as a burden, but as a driving force.

Precision

We measure in micrometers, not millimeters. Every instrument is inspected, adjusted and released under the microscope. In microsurgery there is no room for “good enough”.

Responsibility

Behind every instrument stands a patient who is being operated on. We carry this responsibility not as a burden, but as a driving force. It makes us better, every day.

Innovation

We combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art CNC technology and laser welding. Not because it sounds modern, but because it enables better instruments.

Craftsmanship

Machines can do much, but not everything. The final inspection, the fine grind, the feel for perfect balance: only hands that have trained for years can do that.

The Founder

Brian Fürderer

Growing up in the Tuttlingen region, the world center of medical technology, Brian Fürderer came into contact with the manufacturing of surgical instruments early on. What began as a fascination with precision became a calling. After training as a surgical instrument maker and several years in the industry, he founded MICROQORE MEDICAL with a clear stance: to make instruments that know no compromise. Not the cheapest, but the best.

“Every instrument must be so good that I would use it in the OR myself.”

Brian Fürderer, Founder & Managing Director, MICROQORE MEDICAL

Family Business

Family is our foundation.

MICROQORE MEDICAL is not an anonymous corporation, but a genuine family business. Founded and led by Brian Fürderer, supported by his wife Jennifer and the entire family. Reliability, solidarity and long-term thinking shape our culture. We invest in people, not just machines, and our customers feel that in every instrument.
