Advanced Cardiovascular Stent Processing

Cardiovascular stents, essential devices in the management of coronary artery diseases, require meticulous precision in their manufacturing. Typically fabricated from metals or polymers, the processing of these stents demands a high degree of accuracy on the micrometer scale to ensure structural integrity and therapeutic efficacy.

Lumos’s femtosecond lasers are engineered for such precision, offering a solution that significantly reduces the risks of carbonization and substantial burring. The ultrafast, heatless processing characteristic of our lasers makes them ideal tools for this purpose, ensuring the biocompatibility of the stent is preserved.

The challenge of carbonization is a serious one; it can adversely impact the biocompatibility of the stent, which is crucial for patient safety and the overall success of the stenting procedure. Lumos’s femtosecond laser technology addresses this challenge head-on by providing a clean, precise processing solution.

Benefits of Lumos’s femtosecond laser technology in cardiovascular stent processing include:

  1. Micrometer-Scale Precision: Achieve unparalleled precision in stent processing, essential for structural integrity and therapeutic efficacy.
  2. Reduced Carbonization: The heatless processing of our femtosecond lasers significantly mitigates the risk of carbonization, ensuring the biocompatibility of the stent.
  3. Streamlined Operations: The precision and efficiency offered by our laser technology streamline the stent manufacturing process, facilitating quicker production without compromising on quality.
