1. A method of manufacturing a surgical tip, the method comprising:
removing a portion of a sheet of substrate material to form a planar strip having a first extension, a second extension, and a proximal end between the first extension and the second extension along a length of the planar strip, the planar strip extends from the first extension to the proximal end such that: 1) a distal portion of a planar substrate of the first extension is elongate along a first direction, and 2) the planar substrate is normal to a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction;
forming a raised portion that extends out from a proximal portion of the planar substrate in the second direction, wherein the proximal portion is curved and coplanar with the distal portion;
plating the first extension such that the raised portion is coated with a ferromagnetic layer; and
bending the planar strip such that the proximal end is out of plane with respect to the distal portion and the proximal portion of the planar substrate.
