Zeller+Gmelin Enters Medical Technology with Multicut MedTec Range

Eislingen, Germany – Lubricant specialist Zeller+Gmelin is officially entering the medical technology sector with its new Multicut MedTec cutting oil range and the comprehensive MedTec Care PLUS service concept. The company offers manufacturers of precision parts and components for medical applications tailored solutions for safe and precise manufacturing processes.

“In medical technology, cutting oils are in demand that enable precise and safe machining,” explains Dr Irene Kreitmeir, Product Manager, Zeller+Gmelin. “And since the development of high-quality machining oils is practically in our company’s DNA, entering this business segment is both logical and consistent for us.”

A crucial criterion for the use of lubricants in medical technology is biocompatibility. This ensures that any residues—for example, on implants or medical screws—do not have a harmful effect on human tissue. Zeller+Gmelin demonstrates this cell compatibility through the cytotoxicity test according to ISO 10993-5.

Comprehensive MedTech Machining Range

The Multicut MedTec product line comprises cutting oils specifically developed for machining medical-grade steel or titanium, as well as special non-ferrous metal alloys. This makes them highly valuable not only for medical technology but also for other precision machining sectors, such as the jewelry and watchmaking industries.

The MedTec program is further enhanced by the specially formulated Divinol cleaners, which ensure safe and reliable cleaning in the medical technology sector. According to the manufacturer, the concept behind the MedTec portfolio is designed for maximum precision, reliable processes, and flawless surface quality—process reliability that extends beyond the workpiece itself, thus enabling long tool life, a clean working environment, and sustainable business practices. Furthermore, to ensure the safety of those working with Multicut MedTec products, the formulations are dermatologically tested.

This combination of safety, user-friendliness, and material quality forms the basis for the products’ performance: the focus is on performance, material compatibility, and the purity of the processed components—crucial prerequisites for safe and reproducible manufacturing processes. “With Multicut MedTec, we ensure that manufacturers can reliably meet all requirements for precision and material compatibility,” Dr Kreitmeir continued.

Holistic Support for Medical Technology

In addition to product development, Zeller+Gmelin pursues a holistic approach that extends beyond simply offering lubricants. The MedTec Care PLUS concept encompasses professional, personalized technical consulting, fluid management, service analyses in its in-house laboratory, and digital support for technical documentation. This allows the company to offer medical technology customers comprehensive support—from lubricant selection and process management to quality assurance.

“Our customers need more than just good cutting oils; they need one thing above all: long-term process reliability,” emphasizes Kreitmeir. “With MedTec Care PLUS, we create precisely this foundation—through tailored products, sound analysis, and transparent documentation.”
