Our Laser Processing Capabilities
Cirtec’s laser processing capabilities offer high-precision welding, cutting, drilling, and marking for complex metal components used in Class II and III medical devices. With minimal heat impact and tight-tolerance accuracy, our processes ensure structural integrity, biocompatibility, and traceability in even the most demanding applications.
Our laser welding technology provides precise, repeatable joins for delicate metal components and assemblies, such as coil wires and hermetic seals for implants.
- Low Heat Input - Prevents distortion of nearby components like O-rings, glass-to-metal seals, and plastic parts
- Strong, Hermetic Seals - Provides robust seals that protect sensitive electronics from body fluids
- Material Compatibility - Suitable for welding stainless steel, titanium, nitinol, platinum, and MP35N, as well as dissimilar metals
- Comprehensive Testing Capabilities - Includes weld penetration testing, weld validations, and leak testing to validate joint integrity and durability
Cirtec specializes in producing close-tolerance, tubular components for catheters, guidewires, and surgical tools through high-precision laser cutting and drilling.
- Minimal Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) - Preserves material integrity and reduces part distortion.
- Fast Prototyping - Speeds up development with quick-turn prototypes and minimal post-processing
- Micro Drilling - Creates holes as small as 0.001" with multi-axis capability for drilling on curved surfaces
- Burr-Free Edges - Reduces the need for secondary deburring, making components production-ready
Our laser marking systems provide durable, high-contrast marks for traceability, branding, and identification.
- Precise, Permanent Markings - Suitable for barcodes, serialization, logos, and text on metals
- Circumferential Marking - Allows markings around tubular components for complete traceability
- Resistant to Environmental Conditions - Markings withstand sterilization, ensuring visibility throughout the product lifecycle
Our laser processing capabilities are optimized for:
- Nitinol - Biocompatible, high elasticity, shape memory
- Stainless Steel - Grades 316L, 304; corrosion-resistant
- Titanium - Lightweight, strong, and biocompatible
- Platinum - High ductility, corrosion-resistant
- Gold - Biocompatible, high electrical conductivity
- MP35N - High strength, corrosion-resistant
- Elgiloy - Cobalt-chromium-nickel-based alloy
- Copper Alloys - Excellent conductivity, ideal for circuits
