Why Is Laser Cutting Good to Process Stents?
Manufactured with laser technology, stents are used as life saving devices. Stent wall structures have intricate webbing and need high precision to be done correctly. This current time in history is very remarkable for the medical industry. I guess this has been said probably many times before in history as it really is a matter of perspective. It must have been amazing for Edward Jenner who developed the first smallpox vaccine in 1796 which would become the foundation for others. In 1895 the X-Ray was developed by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, which gave doctors a non-invasive way for diagnosis. The lists of historic markers whether in science, industry, the arts, or medicine is something to admire. Life never stops and keeps moving forward, bringing both the good and bad. In the medical industry, the tenacity of researchers and physicians in all the medical fields keeps our available healthcare at the pinnacle of technological advances so in some respects this is a wonderful time to be alive. One advancement over the past 45-50 years are medical stents. Stents came about when an earlier procedure called balloon angioplasty was not fulfilling the need for coronary treatments. Angioplasty was using very small balloons to widen or open clogged arteries. This was a new process and successfully done back around 1977. However, the procedure could cause the artery to undergo restenosis a re-narrowing of the opening about 30% of the time. Clever thinkers in the medical field developed the stent. A stent is a tube-like structure with walls resembling a mesh. This cylindrical shape reminds me much of those fingers cuffs we played with as children. You would put your index fingers on each end and struggle to pull them out. Laser medical devices such as stents have different patterns, lengths, and diameters and can be made from stainless steel, bioresorbable materials or others. Laser cutting for the medical industry has been around since the mid 1960’s and is used for its ability to manufacture precision parts out of metallic and non-metallic materials. Stainless steel laser cutting is abundant and often the material of choice for medical devices and tools. Medical laser cutting can be processed by various system types including ultraviolet, infrared and fiber laser technologies. You can call these medical laser cutters as many projects serviced by precision laser ...
