Four generations of instrument craftsmanship
Aurix was founded by Abdul Raffay to continue a family legacy in surgical and dental instrument manufacturing that dates back to the late 1800s. Starting on the factory floor at sixteen, he learned both the craft — how instruments are forged, hardened and finished — and the business of supplying clinicians worldwide. That knowledge shapes how we choose, check and support every instrument. Read our story.
USA-based supply and service
We are a USA-based supplier and distributor serving clinics, schools, groups and distributors in the US and internationally, with a team you can reach directly.

How we compare with large distributors
Large distributors offer enormous catalogues covering every dental product, from consumables to equipment. Aurix focuses specifically on surgical and dental instruments and kits, with customisation, private label and personal service. Many customers use a large distributor for equipment and consumables and Aurix for instruments and kits.
Our values
- Quality and precision in every instrument.
- Trust, consistency and long-term partnerships.
- Innovation in sourcing and customer experience.
- Integrity in pricing and communication.
Our commitment to quality
Every instrument we supply is manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel. Our manufacturing heritage means we understand what makes a forceps grip, an elevator hold its edge and a curette stay sharp — and we apply that knowledge when choosing and checking instruments for our customers.
