Laser Texturing Continues to Evolve in Medical Applications

In the medical device industry, surface texture has become an important aspect of product design. It not only provides the means to refine the physical appearance of an item, but also increases an item’s surface grip qualities. And through surface texturing, manufacturers can create medical tools that pick up less fluid and debris, mark implants for tracking, and add textures that aid in implant acceptance. So it is of no surprise that these medical manufacturers are increasingly seeking ways to improve the level of control exerted in surface texturing. Laser texturing is often the technology of choice and is now applied to many medical parts.
