This grade of surgical instrument is the highest quality instrument available in the market today. These precision German-quality instruments are forged and hand-crafted specifically for RICA by master craftsmen. Using the most exacting standards in the industry, these instruments are manufactured using 410-420 surgical grade stainless steel, which is the best series of steel to use for maintaining hardness and longevity. Grade 1 instruments will provide the surgeon with unfaltering quality, excellent durability, consistent reliablility and a great investment.

 

All instruments in this category include an unconditional lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship and represent the best value based on long term economics. All inserts for tungsten carbide instruments are warranted for three years.

 

Instruments of this grade are designed with a product number that begins with the prefix number 1 (i.e. 1-xxx). Therefore, if you want to purchase the highest quality grade of surgical instruments, please order the instruments with this number designation.

 

The surgical instruments classified as Grade 2 are high quality instruments that are more affordable than our Grade 1 line. These instruments are manufactured to meet the rigorous standards and daily requirements of the operating room (hence "operating room" quality). These instruments are manufactured using 410-420 surgical grade stainless steel. The surgical instruments in this grade are more affordable than Grade 1 and represent a high quality alternative that will provide more short-term value for the surgeon. An excellent line of instruments to purchase for less critical procedures and when price is important.

These instruments are the most affordable available today and are best described as a "floor-grade" surgical instrument. The purchase price is significantly less, but these instruments will not last long term. This grade of instrument is ideally suited for non-critical procedures and when price is the primary criteria for purchasing.
