Laser Marking Technology with Surgical Precision.
The medical industry is a particularly heavy user of stainless steel because of the industry’s strict requirement for materials that will not produce or transmit biological and chemical contaminants. Surgical tools made of this metal can withstand repeated cycles of sterilisation by autoclave and the oxidative effect of several sterilising chemicals. Stainless steel prosthetics, such as hip bone replacements and cranial plates, can be made of alloys especially designed to resist mechanical wear and biological reactions.
Lasers are also the technology of choice of the medical industry to comply with the FDA’s mandate to mark all medical tools and devices with a unique device identifier (UDI). This requirement creates a system of traceability and liability for all medical devices, where each product can be traced and identified to its manufacturer. Having such a system compels medical device manufacturers to be accountable for the quality of their products in case of a product recall.

The demands of the Medical Industry.
Laser engraving is ideal for marking small engineering tools like callipers, wrenches, and drill bits, even at 1-point size. Its precision ensures clear and legible markings on tiny parts, which is critical for tools requiring accuracy, such as measuring instruments. The automated laser etching process guarantees repeatability and consistency, ensuring that markings like ticks and readings are positioned precisely.
Laser marking doesn’t require any pre or post-treatment of metals and delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal maintenance. It can achieve fine resolutions, making it suitable for even the smallest components, and offers limitless design possibilities, including coloured markings.
As a non-contact technology, laser marking reduces material stress and eliminates the need for clamping, speeding up production and reducing the risk of secondary damage. This not only improves efficiency but also leads to significant cost savings by minimizing waste and enhancing production speed.
Medical laser etching and engraving machines.
Laser engraving technology has revolutionized the medical industry, enabling medical professionals to provide more precise and detailed treatments for patients. The medical industry has leveraged laser engraving technology to create small, intricate surgical instruments, enabling surgeons to perform more precise surgeries. Laser engraving technology is also being used to create lab equipment, such as microfluidic chips and other tools used in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Our systems are used to create labels and markings on medical instruments and equipment, allowing for easy identification and tracking of medical supplies. Laser engraving technology is a valuable tool in the medical industry, allowing for more precise treatments and improved patient outcomes.
