Laser Cutting Medical Devices

Many medical devices require intricate, geometrically-complex micro-components produced within strict tolerances. TE offers fast, precise laser-cutting solutions for metal, plastic, and polymer materials at a lower cost than traditional machining or EDM methods. We laser cut standard or pattern tubing, wires, and solids that are used in: 

• Surgical instruments 
• Laparoscopic instruments 
• Catheter subassemblies 
• Tubular devices 
• Drug delivery ports
• And many other medical device parts

TE supports a diverse range of composites and metals including stainless steel, nitinol, nickel, cobalt chromium, and MP35N. High-performance specifications on plastic and metal materials include: 

• Tolerances within 0.0005” (0,00127 cm) or less  
• Kerf width as small as 0.0007” (0,001778 cm)  
• Process small wall thicknesses as thin as 0.002” (0,00508 cm) up to 0.030” (0,0762 cm) 
• Process diameter tubing (i.e. 0.012” x 0.009” (0,03048 cm x 0,02286 cm))
