Laser Welding Medical Devices

At Laseronics, we understand the significance and intricacy involved in the production of medical devices.

With our cutting-edge technology and extensive experience, we offer state-of-the-art laser welding and sealing solutions for implantable medical devices that meet and exceed the ISO 13485 standards.

Understanding Implantable Medical Devices

Implantable medical devices range from contact lenses and artificial joints to heart pumps and monitoring systems. The human body can be quite hostile to foreign objects, and as such, medical implantables need to be constructed from specific materials and through precise manufacturing techniques to ensure their proper function and safety.

Welding and Sealing Expertise

Laseronics specializes in laser welding and hermetic sealing of medical implants, particularly those with powered electronic components. Our expertise guarantees long-lasting devices with the highest level of patient safety.

Material Selection and Challenges

Titanium – The Material of Choice

Titanium is often the material of choice due to its lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. It has the unique ability to bind with bone and living tissue, making it ideal for medical implants. Moreover, titanium is non-ferromagnetic, meaning it doesn’t interfere with MRI scanners.

Custom Solutions

Medical implants demand precision due to their small size and complex weld profiles. With CNC-controlled motion and 4 and 5-axis welders, we ensure precise and repeatable welding even for complex profiles. Our in-house tool design and fabrication capabilities allow us to develop fixtures tailored to part complexity, thus increasing accuracy.

Purity through Cover Gasses

Ensuring the purity of welds is critical. We use argon as a cover gas to prevent oxidation and associated weld defects. For complex applications, we also have the option to weld devices in an inert environment glovebox.

Inspecting Medical Parts

Implantable medical devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and heat. We practice all ESD safety precautions and employ a small laser beam spot size to input less heat for the same depth of the weld. This ensures the integrity of the device and its components. Furthermore, our gloveboxes are equipped with vacuum ovens that eliminate moisture before welding, ensuring that the internal environment of the device is clean and dry.

Precise Placement and Efficacy

Titanium’s tendency to emit bright sparks during welding can pose a challenge. At Laseronics, we have developed a proprietary process to combat this, enabling us to accurately see the weld joint and ensure precise placement and efficacy.
