Through a new process, it is now possible to laser-weld two optically clear plastic parts made of a wide range of polymer materials for medical applications. This innovation combines patented Branson Simultaneous Through-Transmission Infrared® (STTIr®) laser welding technology from Emerson with precision ultrasonic spray deposition technology from Sono-Tek to open up new design possibilities for the makers of medical devices, drug-delivery systems, and in-vitro testing products.
