Green Lasers Micromachine Medical Implants

From Gateway Laser Services
 

 

These holes were produced in tubular stainless steel using mechanical drilling (left), conventional laser cutting (center) and micromachining with a high-power, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser.

When one considers the impact of photonics in industry, telecommunications and aerospace immediately come to mind. Yet medical applications have witnessed an increasing advantage as well, thanks to the ability of high-power lasers to machine minute precision parts from surgical materials for implantable devices such as stents, catheters and needles.
