Medical Laser Welding

Production of medical equipment standards

Products within the medical industry require the highest levels of precision. It is incredibly important that they meet the highest quality demands. The size of many medical devices and products are continually decreasing. This is where lasers are perfect as they are perfectly suited for creating equally minute weld seams. Even in complicated areas, laser weld spots and seams can easily be generated to provide sterile surfaces with no post-processing.

Medical laser welding benefits

As laser welding is non-contact, it ensures that minimal / no heat damage is caused to the surrounding material. This is great for the medical industry as it is the most effective, non-intrusive way to weld the tools. Therefore, ensuring no damage is one to them. As precision is key to this industry, laser welding is also key. In addition, as it is a precise means of manufacturing, it is a quick, way to minimise economic spending. It also provides both quality and quantity in production.

The high weld integrity achieved with laser-welded joints makes them suited for high-temperature sterilisation. Additionally, the limited heat affected area ensures that surrounding material is not annealed and weakened. A wide variety of metals can be laser welded, including alloys, and there are no filler materials added during the processing. This removes any potential biocompatibility issues for products such as implants.

How is it used in the medical industry?

Just a few examples of medical devices that can be created with the aid of laser welding include:

  • Pacemakers
  • Hearing Aids
  • Prosthetics
  • Catheters
  • Defibrillators

You need ultimate precision when dealing with products from the medical industry. There is simply no room for mistake. Furthermore, it is pivotal that they meet the highest quality demands. Even in complicated areas, laser weld spots and seams can easily be generated to provide sterile surfaces with no post-processing.
