Our latest white paper, written by Kevin Hartke, Chief Technical Officer, highlights the advantages of using laser cut tube in the place of traditional catheter constructs. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ has combined advances in laser and motion control to develop a cost effective tool for high-volume manufacturing of catheter components. This high-speed laser cutting process is branded as PRIME Laser Cut.
Laser cut tubing (LCT) uses a focused laser to melt or ablate through one wall of a metal or polymer tube and remove the degraded material via a high-pressure coaxial gas nozzle. The process has been used in medical device manufacturing for over 30 years with major advancements following the push for miniaturization for minimally invasive procedures…
