Medical Device Manufacturing

The challenges of today’s medical device manufacturing applications – small, single use devices in high demand with ever-increasing reliability and traceability requirements (like UDI) – are pushing the need for more sophisticated manufacturing technologies and AMADA WELD TECH, in consult with medical device industry expert customers, is leading the way with our comprehensive range of resistance and laser welding, laser marking, laser cutting and laser micromachining technologies. View our Medical Industry Brochure.

Black laser marking using picosecond lasers for unique device identification and laser micromachining using ultrashort pulse lasers to produce high quality small features in metals, plastics, ceramic and glass are just a couple of our latest areas of expertise. Cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, guidewires, catheters, cannulae, hearing aids, brachyseeds, orthodontic appliances, prosthetics and surgical tools are just a few of our many successful applications!

Medical Device Categories We Support


AMADA WELD TECH’s solutions are used across a wide range of medical device categories, including:

  • Guidewires and catheters, where fine features, small diameters, and controlled heat input are critical
  • Implantable medical devices, including components used in cardiac and neurostimulation systems
  • Hypotubes and thin-wall tubing, requiring precision cutting, welding, and micromachining
  • Cannulae, stents, and minimally invasive devices
  • Hearing aids and orthodontic appliances
  • Surgical tools and instrument components
  • And more!
These device categories often involve small geometries, delicate materials, and tight tolerances, making process control essential.

Manufacturing Technologies for Medical Devices

AMADA WELD TECH technologies support key medical device manufacturing processes, including:

  • Resistance welding for controlled, repeatable metal joining
  • Laser welding for precision joining of small and complex components
  • Laser cutting and laser micromachining for high-precision features in tubing and flat materials
  • Laser marking for permanent identification and traceability
These processes enable manufacturers to achieve consistent quality while minimizing thermal and mechanical impact on sensitive medical components.

Advanced Laser Capabilities for Medical Applications

AMADA WELD TECH supports advanced medical manufacturing needs such as:

  • Ultrashort pulse laser micromachining for microscopic, high-quality features in metals, plastics, ceramics, and glass like balloon catheters
  • Black, corrosion resistant laser marking using picosecond lasers to support UDI requirements on parts that are implanted or subjected to passivation or autoclaving
These capabilities are particularly important for implantable devices and minimally invasive components where feature quality and marking durability are critical.
