EPflex Feinwerktechnik GmbH

Since 1994, EPflex Feinwerktechnik GmbH has been developing and manufacturing high-tech instruments for minimally invasive surgery for customers around the world. In 2026, we expanded internationally by establishing our first overseas location in Costa Rica. Continuing our growth journey, we now employ around 450 people across our two locations.

In addition to manufacturing guidewires and stone retrieval devices, we are a trusted development partner for our customers. With our own toolmaking department and in-house technology center, we provide end-to-end contract development services, supporting our customers from the initial idea and product development through to serial production.

We also assist our business partners with product approvals and regulatory requirements. EPflex is an OEM manufacturer and, as a legal manufacturer, holds CE certification. Our quality management system complies with the requirements of ISO 13485 and the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR).

With approximately 9,000 m² of production space across our facilities in Germany and Costa Rica, we are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and manufacturing systems.

Over the years, we have developed numerous patented innovations that have opened up entirely new possibilities for physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients.
