Introduction
In the world of therapeutic tools, quality is crucial. For tools that interact directly with the human body, every detail matters – the weight in your hand, the precision of the edge, the durability of the material. At HawkGrips, we craft our instruments with a commitment to excellence, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and clinical effectiveness.
Let’s explore what sets our tools apart and how they’re made right here in Pennsylvania, USA.
High-Performance Materials for Optimal Results
At HawkGrips, we know tool quality directly impacts treatment outcomes. That's why our IASTM instruments are made from surgical-grade stainless steel, chosen for its durability, hygiene, and high performance. This high-tensile strength material ensures that our tools maintain their shape and effectiveness over time, even with frequent use.
The non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and allows for easy sterilization, making our tools safe and long-lasting. Its smooth surface is crucial for the IASTM technique, enabling our tools to glide effortlessly over soft tissues and providing practitioners with essential tactile feedback. Additionally, the ability to retain temperature makes our tools versatile for combining cold or heat therapy with IASTM techniques.
Designed for Effectiveness and Comfort
The HawkGrips instrument design resulted from extensive research and collaboration with top clinicians. Founder Frank Osborne prototyped and tested countless designs to perfect edge geometry and grips, ensuring the tools are both effective and comfortable to preserve clinicians' hands.
Much like a golfer has their 
set of clubs, a clinician needs their full set of IASTM tools. Our tools cater to various treatment areas, with larger instruments for backs, quads, and hamstrings to smaller curved tools for areas like thumbs and Achilles tendons. The HGPro Multi-Tool features seven treatment edges, offering a versatile solution for different needs.
HawkGrips tools include single-beveled edges for deeper tissue penetration and double-beveled edges for more sensitive areas, with bidirectional use for left-handed practitioners. Their contours are crafted to fit specific body parts, enhancing functionality.
The unique cross-hatched design improves grip and reduces hand strain, making treatments more efficient and comfortable. HawkGrips instruments are a premium product, but their durability, versatility, and lifetime warranty make them a worthwhile and cost-effective investment.
The HawkGrips Creation Process
Creating HawkGrips instruments involves a meticulous, multi-step process that distinguishes them from mass-produced alternatives. Each tool undergoes precise grinding and polishing to perfect every edge and surface, ensuring smoothness that enhances treatment effectiveness and patient comfort.
Hand-crafted in the USA, HawkGrips reflects a commitment to quality and precision. Our hands-on approach guarantees superior performance and durability, supported by strict quality control and safety standards. The “Made in the USA” label underscores our dedication to craftsmanship and reliability.
After being expertly crafted at Blue Mountain Metal Finishing in Bethel, PA, HawkGrips instruments undergo a thorough inspection to meet our high standards. They are then transported to our warehouse and office headquarters, in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. There, each tool is hand-packed and shipped to you with precision and care, reflecting the same attention to detail that goes into their creation.
