Market Applications
Medical
Experience the assurance of having a dedicated ally in advanced medical devices. We specialize in crafting machinery that effectively handles the micro wires within premium implants, instruments, and machines.
These innovations play a pivotal role in enhancing disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, providing your customers with improved healthcare outcomes and peace of mind.
From catheters to hearing aids, and advanced pacemakers, our solutions encompass it all.
Micro-Fine Wires
These wires have been stripped using Laser Wire Solutions technology
Patient safety is at the forefront of our mind, just like it is for you. By ensuring our wire stripping processes provide minimal residue on the wires used in medical devices, you can ensure your products and your customers are left happy and healthy (and their patients are too!). Using our in-house scanning electron microscope (SEM), we can test your wire then check for any residues on wires finer than a human hair.
Market Application
- Electrical Catheters
- Ablation catheter: uses RF energy to burn cells
- Mapping catheter: measures signals from heart cells using multiple electrodes
- Mechanical Catheters
- Pull wires/Guide wires with coatings
The Wires
- Electrodes
- enamel
- polyimide
- polyester – sizes 0.020-0.20mm (<40 AWG)
- Thermocouples:
- bonded enamel wires – bifilar, multifilar
- Conductors:
- copper
- monel
- gold coated
- Draw wires:
- stainless steel
Traditional Technology Drawbacks
- Stripping requires operator skills
- Yield depends on the skill of the operator
- no traceability
- Poor stripping
- can be over stripped, leading to wires snapping
- High skill level requirement
- lengthy training process,
- slow to ramp up production
- Unable to automate the process
