This isn't just theoretical value; we see it in the numbers. For fiscal 2025, the next-generation orthopedic handpiece, which uses this tech, accounted for $12 million in sales out of total revenue of $66.59 million. Plus, the Q1 FY2025 gross margin hit 35%, showing this precision work commands a premium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRarity: Niche Engineering Barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe specific way Pro-Dex, Inc. applies and integrates this torque control into high-precision surgical drivers is likely rare among general contract manufacturers.
