Industries
As a surgical blade manufacturer, we’ve developed medical blades to slice biopsy sections as thin as two microns, microkeratome blades to cut flaps in corneas, and other medical blades to bore plaque from arteries. Our expertise can make your surgical vision a reality.
Crescent Manufacturing blades are used in the world’s most innovative medical applications. Our team takes on the technical challenges that others avoid, at a yield rate higher than the competition. We engineer blades for everything from coronary intervention to microscopic examination.
From engineering and tooling to production, inspection, and supply chain, our decisions are based on quality. We hold ourselves accountable to standards to ensure we remain a reliable, long-term medical partner.
Crescent Manufacturing is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Our ISO Certification helps us consistently deliver products that meet customer and regulatory requirements by standardizing processes, managing risk, and driving continuous improvement.
SAPPHIRE® and NOBLESSE® disposable microtome blades are proudly made in the USA. With low and high-profile options, these blades are ideal for paraffin and cryostat applications.

Production Scale Capacity
In a surgical environment, perfection is the only option. Our medical blades are manufactured to the highest standards of sharpness, consistency, and durability. Our partnerships have achieved decades of success across several applications.
Our blade production is built on precision stamping and blanking, followed by tightly controlled downstream operations that collectively define edge geometry, durability, and performance.
Medical blade applications include microtome blades, dermatome blades, microkeratome blades, micro-dilatation catheter blades, umbilical cord cutting blades, trocar blades, and general surgical blades.
Even if your design is only an idea, we can design and manufacture custom medical blades to match your needs.
Our team has the unique ability to work projects from prototyping less than 100 blades to production runs into the millions. Specific alloys can be used when needed to achieve the desired strength of the product.
Our blades are the result of vertically integrated manufacturing, tightly controlled processes. From steel selection and stamping through heat treatment, grinding, finishing, and inspection, each step is treated as part of a connected system.
Crescent Manufacturing partnered with a leading U.S. medical device manufacturer to develop safer, less invasive coronary intervention tools. These blades required zero defects in warping or corrosion across production runs.
The success of this project continued, with production refinements increasing the yield from 30% to 90%. The blades exceeded the client’s requirements, while decreasing production costs.
Medical professionals around the globe rely on microtome, dermatome, and custom medical blades from Crescent Manufacturing. Reach out to our team to start building the precision blades that your application demands.
