Laser Marking & Engraving
Huron has provided high-contrast, permanent marking and engraving services for manufacturers of surgical tools, implants and instruments for more than 20 years. Laser marking is used so that low-impact surface marks can give traceability to components without creating hygiene traps. The marking needs to withstand autoclaves and passivation and to be sufficiently permanent so that implants can be easily traced back to a specific manufacturer and material batch, when needed.
Many instruments and implants need to be marked on curved surfaces, and the non-contact properties of laser marking are ideal for such applications. Where a surgeon has many different sized implants to choose from, the marking needs to be clear and bold for ease of selection in the surgical suite. These high-contrast markings that are achievable with a laser are essential for these critical environments.
