HL Technology: your expert partner for validated, end-to-end medical device solutions, from torque to treatment.

Custom Medical Device Solutions for Enhanced Patient Safety

HL Technology designs, develops, and manufactures high-precision medical devices across orthopaedics, dental, and general surgery. Our expertise includes the world’s most secure torque wrench key for dental implants systems, along with OEM components, sub-contract manufacturing, and full MDR-compliant solutions. We partner with leading brands like Hader Solutions & Distribution (Ireland) and other global medical and orthopaedic industry leaders to deliver certified, high-performance devices that meet the strictest regulatory standards (FDA 510(k), CE, MDR (2017/745), ISO 13485).

Our capabilities cover not only high-precision machining and mechanical engineering, but also critical special processes like precision cleaning, packaging design and validation, and sterilization coordination. Our production is backed by comprehensive validation protocols (IQ, OQ, PQ), cleanroom processes, and full traceability systems. With a deep understanding of regulatory environments, we help ensure patient safety and market readiness at every step.

Orthopedics: Precision Instruments for Surgical Excellence

HL Technology provides the orthopaedic industry with specialized tools designed to minimize procedural risks. Our torque-limiting devices (0.8 to 25 Nm, axial/radial) ensure controlled force application in trauma, spine, and joint surgeries. Custom-engineered solutions come with full technical documentation (PPAP-ready), supporting seamless integration into surgical workflows. Whether for prototyping or mass production, we ensure precision, durability, and compliance.

Dental Innovations: The Most Secure Torque Wrench Key on the Market

In the dental industry, HL Technology sets the standard with our MDR-compliant OMEGA torque wrench key, recognized as the most secure solution for implantology. We also provide OEM parts and sub-contract manufacturing for major dental brands, including Hader Solutions & Distribution (Ireland). Our expertise covers:

• Precision torque-control instruments for optimal implant fixation
• Custom abutments, and prosthetic components
• Full regulatory support (MDR, FDA, CE) for market-ready devices

End-to-End Medical Device Development – From Idea to Market

HL Technology serves as a one-stop shop for medical device innovation, covering design, prototyping, testing, and full-scale production. Our integrated approach includes vendor management, material selection, and regulatory support, ensuring a smooth path from concept to FDA 510(k), CE, or MDR (2017/745) certification. Collaborating with industry leaders, we deliver custom solutions tailored to clinical needs—whether for torque devices, minimally invasive tools, complete systems, or implantable systems.

Prosthetics & Custom Medical Components – Scalable Manufacturing

Press Releases

A busy autumn for HL Technology: two events, two answers to your needs

Autumn is shaping up to be a busy season for HL Technology®. Our team will attend two major medical events in Germany, each with its own audience and its own challenges. For each, we bring an answer: our instruments for orthopaedic specialists, and our manufacturing expertise for medical device makers.

Under AFAP, patient safety can no longer depend on whose hand is holding the instrument

The shift from the ALARP principle to the AFAP principle in the 2019 edition of ISO 14971, in line with Regulation (EU) 2017/745, changes the nature of the requirement: it is no longer enough for a risk to be acceptable – it must be reduced as far as the state of the art allows. This shift has direct, concrete consequences for a gesture repeated multiple times per procedure: torque-controlled tightening.

One Stop Shop: pick the steps that matter to you, we handle the rest

A medical, dental or orthopaedic device project doesn’t always follow the same path. Some clients hand us the entire journey, from concept to market; others simply need one precise link in the chain. That’s the whole idea behind our One Stop Shop model: six independent steps, to be engaged as needed.

HL Technology® closes the mid-torque gap —official launch of the XS radial torque limiter (2–12 Nm)

Few instruments on the orthopaedic surgical market are truly suited to mid-range torques in minimally invasive surgery — and fewer still can reach confined access zones where axial torque limiters simply cannot. HL Technology® addresses this gap with the XS, a radial reversible-ratchet torque limiter designed specifically for restricted surgical environments: MIS spine surgery, lateral approaches, and confined configurations.

HL Technology® introduces extended low-torque range for its flagship CLICK torque limiter

HL Technology is proud to announce a major innovation in its flagship CLICK torque limiter, now available in an extended ultra-low torque range starting from 0.5 Nm.
