Laser Drilling in Medical Devices

Laser drilling is a well-established manufacturing process that is used to produce precision holes in hard materials. In medical devices, laser drilling is often used to create holes in implants and prostheses. The process is relatively simple and can be performed with a number of different types of lasers. The most common type of laser used for laser drilling is the CO2 laser. This type of laser uses a high-energy beam to create precise holes in hard materials. Other types of lasers that can be used for laser drilling include the Nd: YAG laser, the diode laser, and the helium-neon laser.

One of the benefits of using laser drilling in medical devices is the accuracy of the holes. This is due to the fact that laser drilling is a precise process that can create holes that are smaller than the size of the laser beam. This makes it possible to create holes in hard materials that are difficult to cut using other methods.
