Who We Are

Built specifically for medical device manufacturers.

Single Source Medical (SSM) is a contract manufacturer dedicated exclusively to the orthopedic industry — serving the spine, trauma, and upper & lower extremity markets. We produce both implants and the surgical instruments that deliver them, under one roof, in a 21,350 sq ft facility in Churubusco, Indiana.

Manufacturing in Indiana since 2001, SSM brings 40 people, a mature ISO 13485 quality system, and a machining foundation deep enough to absorb high-mix orthopedic work without growing pains. Our customers send a print — we deliver finished, marked, cleaned, inspected, packaged product.

One partner from raw bar to finished, packaged shipment.

Advanced machines build the part — but it's our people and our culture that make SSM worth coming back to. We built this company to be the kind of supplier we'd want to buy from: responsive on the front end, validated on the back end, and accountable every step in between.

What We Do

End-to-end manufacturing under one roof.

Implants and instruments, from bar stock to bagged-and-tagged.

Swiss-Type Turning

Star Swiss platforms in 20–32 mm bar capacity with sub-spindle, Y-axis, and live milling — bone screws, pins, drivers, and small-diameter implants complete in a single setup.

Mill-Turn / Live Tooling

5-axis mill-turn with sub-spindle and 2.5″ bar capacity for complex one-op parts — drill guides, trial inserters, and trauma plates done in a single setup.

5-Axis Milling

Matsuura MX-330 and DMG Mori 5-axis machining for compound geometries — acetabular shells, spinal cages, anatomic plates, and instrument housings.

Wire EDM

Fanuc Robocut wire EDM for sharp internal corners, slotting, and features no mill can reach — hardened materials, no problem.

Laser Marking

Fiber laser marking for UDI codes, lot numbers, and graphics — validated for permanence on titanium, stainless, and CoCr.

Cleaning & Passivation

Multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning and passivation per ASTM A967, with controlled-environment final inspection and packaging.

Deburr & Finishing

Tumbling, bead blast, hand polish, and surface finish to Ra spec — implant-grade surface preparation done in-house.

Inspection & CMM

Zeiss Contura CMM, Keyence vision, and surface profilometers backed by a calibrated gage program and FAIR / PPAP-ready reporting.

Assembly

Final assembly of components into finished product — labeled, packaged, and shipped direct to your DC.

Solutions

More than machining.

The wrap-around services orthopedic OEMs ask for — handled in-house so your supply chain shrinks instead of grows.

DFM

DFM Feedback

Print review and manufacturability input before you lock revision.

P

Prototyping

Fast-turn first articles to validate fit and process before EAU.

A

Assembly

Sub-assembly of machined components into finished product, under one ceiling.

PL

Packaging & Labeling

Clean packaging and labeling to your spec — ready for your sterilization process.

VMI

Vendor-Managed Inventory

Hub stocking and consigned inventory programs to smooth your demand signal.

Our Philosophy

Three commitments. One company.

SSM is built on the same three-legged stool that drives our sister company, Impact CNC — balancing customer value, employee experience, and financial discipline so we can do right by all three.

01 — SUPPLIER

Supplier of Choice

World-class quality, on-time delivery, and end-to-end medical device manufacturing that makes us the partner of record for orthopedic OEMs. We don't just machine parts — we ship validated, traceable, packaged product.

02 — EMPLOYER

Employer of Choice

Competitive wages, continuous training, and a culture where craftsmanship matters. We hire and develop the people who make precision possible — and we work hard to keep them.

03 — INVESTMENT

Investment of Choice

Financial stability and disciplined reinvestment in equipment, technology, and validation infrastructure — so our customers' programs scale on our floor without growing pains.

Machining Resources

The capability set, not the spec sheet.

We invest in the right platforms for orthopedic work — and we keep the specifics off the public web. Send us a print; we'll tell you exactly what we'd run it on.

Swiss Lathe Machining

Multi-axis Swiss platforms for screws, drivers, pins, and small-diameter implants.

5-Axis CNC Mills

Compound geometries on cages, plates, acetabular components, and instrument housings.

5-Axis CNC Lathes

Y-axis sub-spindle turn-mill for one-op completion of complex parts.

High-Speed Machining

Production cells optimized for high-throughput trauma plate and shoulder programs.

Wire EDM

Sharp internal corners, slotting, and features no mill can reach — hardened materials included.

Saw Cutting

In-house bar prep so we control the front end of the value stream.

Thread RollingComing Soon

In-process capability addition — fastener-grade thread forming on bone screws and instruments.
