• Medical Device Link . Laser-Manufactured Features in Medical Catheters and Angioplasty Devices
  lasers for manufacturing as well as the most common industrial lasers available. Three examples of applying the technology profiling metal stents, drilling orifices in medical catheters, and drilling orifices in angioplasty balloons are presented and discussed. Lasers of some type have been...
• Medical Device Link . Composite Tubing Finds Laparoscopic and Electrosurgical Applications Peelable Laminations Developed for Medical Packaging Multilumen Catheter Drilling Machine Uses Laser Technology
  composite tubing is 10 15% stronger and has twice the dielectric properties of previous PolyMed composites. In addition, the tubing offers a better strength-to-weight ratio than comparable metal instruments. Lightweight instruments have been demonstrated to cause less strain on physicians' hands during...

  , and Germany. In addition to the international winners, there were several award-winning products designed and manufactured in the United States with an international market in mind, such as the Becton Dickinson UniJect injection device and the Intima II catheter. A panel of eight jurors convened...

• The wind-up and the pitch
  Servos and machine vision give miniature coil makers tight control of wire tension and wind angle. Catheters; microstents for repairing aneurysms. These medical devices consist of precisely wound, small-diameter coils of extremely fine metal filaments. How fine? "We've made coils from 0.0004-in...

Parts that can be made from thin sheets of polymers Microinfusion pumps, microvalves, microneedles...
• "Liquid electrode" finishes alloy parts
  A special electrochemicalmachining (ECM) technology uses an electrolyte solution with proprietary chemistry as a "tool" to perform finishing operations on alloy parts instead of the more-typical, conformal, metal electrode. Close-up samples of a medical implant show the part before (top) and after...
