Laser is widely used in the field of medical device manufacturing. Laser marking, welding, cutting and other laser types are suitable for various processing processes. Each process corresponds to specific processing requirements, and various new applications are emerging. Next, let's take a look at the application of laser processing technology in the field of medical device manufacturing.

Laser marking: marking and tracking product information

Laser label is a good way to permanently display the company logo and product information on the equipment to ensure the traceability of the product. The laser label has a unique device identifier (UDI), text about the company logo and the use of the device. The direct part marking (DPM) process is a flexible laser processing method that can easily generate graphics and other information. Laser marking is used to mark bone screws, cardiac pacemakers and auditory implants. Laser marking is widely used in medical and dental equipment, such as marking on container shells containing precision electronic components, such as intraocular lenses and endoscopic tools.

Industrial lasers suitable for laser marking can be divided into ultraviolet lasers, green lasers, fiber lasers, carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers and ultra short pulse (USP) lasers according to wavelength, laser medium or pulse duration. The best light source depends on material properties, label type and quality requirements.
