Laser processes for Stents

We use a laser to cut out and expand tube and hypotube into custom patterns and designs. Nitinol material has shape memory, making it possible to realize a variety of shapes.

We collaborate with our overseas group companies to carry out prototyping and mass production.

Some extra processes

Electropolishing (finishing process)

This is a processing method in which metal is placed in an electrolytic solution and an electric current is passed through it to smooth the metal surface. Burrs and unevenness are removed, and the resulting surface is extremely smooth.
Materials: Nitinol, SUS steel, titanium, etc.

Benefits of electropolishing

The following characteristics make it possible to use it for medical device parts.

• Smoothing treatment (surface roughness (Ra) = up to 0.1 μm)
• Improved durability
