The Importance of Laser Marking Catheters

Medical device manufacturing is a highly-regulated industry that requires specialized machines to ensure all products are marked correctly and accurately. The best way to ensure marks are visible and durable is by using a laser marking process. This is especially true when manufacturing catheters. Read on to learn more about the importance of laser marking catheters.

Accuracy

The primary reason for choosing laser marking systems for your medical device marking process is accuracy. The capabilities of our laser marking machines ensure that all markings are highly visible and correct. Even the smallest of images and text comes out true to design. Consumers prefer the most legible and clear markings when purchasing medical devices as regulations and patients demand the same.

Indelible

Laser markings from a laser marking machine are highly durable. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to damage or tamper with laser markings. This is because the concentrated laser penetrates the top layer of the catheter and marks beneath that layer, unlike embroidering or embossing. And since catheters must be uniformly smooth, these indelible markings ensure your medical devices are suitable for patients.

Sterilization-Proof

Catheters require thorough sterilization before being used in operation, and sometimes, this process uses cleaning agents strong enough to remove markings. This is not the case with laser-marked medical devices. These marks are 100 percent resistant to corrosion and entirely safe for any and all sterilization processes, including centrifuging, autoclaving, and passivation.

Cost Effective

Did you know that the laser marking process is the most energy efficient and least wasteful method for marking medical equipment? The machine effectively uses power to create marking quickly, reducing your operating costs. Plus, the process doesn’t require any other resources outside of the machine and laser. This also drastically lowers your business’s carbon footprint, helping preserve the environment.

Laser marking catheters ensures that your manufactured medical devices meet the strict regulations present in this industry. And switching to this process can save your business some money and benefit the environment.
