Laser micromachining provides a fast and highly repeatable hole drilling process with tolerances well below +/- .001" thick. In each case, the combination of catheter material, wall thickness, hole size or geometry of hole arrays have to be carefully evaluated to determine the type of laser system and machining parameters that meet both manufacturing requirements. (Image is 0.007" diameter hole drilled in polyetherimide (ultem) Tubing).
