Medical devices

Laser cutting, welding, drilling and marking are commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices due to their precision, speed, and versatility. They are used in the production of everything from surgical instruments (scalpels, forceps, scissors etc), implants (e.g. dental implants and hip replacements) and catheters to stents and diagnostic devices (glucose monitors and blood gas analysers).
