The manufacture

After gradually industrializing its manufacture over the years, Deppeler acquired numerical control machines. During the production process, a strict manual control at every step guarantees that each instrument meets our highest standards.

In the spirit of Arnold Deppeler’s craftsmanship, all instruments are still meticulously hand-finished.

Impeccable quality

It is quality which distinguishes true manufacturing from slapdash production; this is dependent on several criteria:

Inspection of an instrument under a magnifier
  1. Knowledge of raw materials

    Our considerable expertise in the manufacture of steel medical devices enables us to produce instruments with remarkable mechanical properties, combining flexibility and hardness and guaranteeing an unrivalled durability. The steel used is unique because it is more difficult to machine, but it is the best for the properties that a practitioner is looking for.

  2. Manual finishing

    Instruments as precise and varied as ours must be finished by hand. Meticulousness, dexterity, inventiveness and expertise are essential qualities in our craftsmen.

  3. Intelligence of shape

    The angulation of a product plays a crucial part in dental work. The manufacturer must examine all the degrees of angulation to ensure that the instrument is balanced, the treatment area is accessible and the work can be performed comfortably.

  4. Strict margins

    Strict margins + rigorous quality controls = high degree of regularity in our instruments

  5. Code of ethics

    Showing respect for the values of others is essential. Each employee understands his or her role perfectly, feels valued and invests fully in the joint process.
