Laser technology from TRUMPF for medical devices

For decades, laser technology has not only transformed medical treatment but also revolutionised the production of medical devices. Life-saving products like implantable
pacemakers, balloon catheters, and stents rely on modern laser systems, which allow manufacturers to precisely process even the smallest components while maintaining sterile conditions. These systems also support the use of cutting-edge, biocompatible materials, making procedures less invasive and more tolerable for patients, and improving overall treatment outcomes.

TRUMPF laser systems meet the stringent requirements of this highly regulated industry, consistently producing flawless, high-quality medical products. When it comes to
manufacturing medical devices, you can count on TRUMPF’s laser technology to deliver unparalleled results. They serve a range of applications for welding, cutting, marking, structuring, and coating removal, ensuring maximum process reliability, precision, and quality. Examples include:

• TruPrint 3D Metal Powder Bed Fusion machines for printing patient-specific devices and implants.
• TruLaser Station 5000 for precision laser welding of stainless medical devices.
• TruMark and TruMicro Mark laser marking and engraving stations for part identification, tracking, and surface structuring of metals, ceramics, and plastics.
