Laser marking in medical technology.
Traceability of medical products: UDI laser marking of surgical instruments and implants. Marking stainless steel and plastic.
How laser marking is used in medical technology.
Laser marking is sterile and highly resistant to acids, cleaning agents and bodily fluids. Depending on the marking process with the laser marking machine, the surface texture remains unchanged. The medical instruments can be kept clean and sterile. Even if implants remain in the body for a long time, no harmful substances are released from the laser marking.
UDI or “Unique Device Identification” is based on certified ISO-compliant standard codes that must be provided on medical instruments and implants for traceability. Scanning the code provides you with information such as manufacturer, item reference or expiry date. This enables error-free documentation that ensures patient safety. Laser technology is optimal for UDI-compliant marking.

Which laser is needed for traceability in laser manufacturing?
Thanks to the simple laser marking of dynamic data, the SpeedMarker series is the right choice for the traceability of medical products. Implants, medical or surgical instruments made of stainless steel or plastic can be marked permanently, quickly and reliably with the galvo laser systems.
