A hypotube is a long metal tube with micro-engineered properties throughout its conduit. It is an important component of the catheter for minimally invasive treatment and needs to be used in conjunction with balloons and stents to open arterial blockages. During this process, the hypotube needs to avoid kinking while being able to travel, track, and rotate smoothly within the anatomy. This has higher requirements on the production process of the hypotube, which greatly increases the difficulty of cutting the hypotube.
REDSAIL Laser has developed a model specially for the medical industry – precision laser cutting machine for stainless steel tubes. This model is specially used for cutting, grooving, drilling, etc. of micro and small metal tubes. It has high cutting efficiency and beautiful craftsmanship. Widely used in the industry, commonly used in hypotube cutting, ultrasonic knife inner and outer casing cutting, capillary tube processing, snake bone tube cutting, stent cutting, etc. The laser adopts non-contact processing method, with small heat affected area, high cutting precision, and no impact on product surface. Mechanical damage, smooth edges without burrs, is a fast and efficient metal pipe precision processing equipment.
The traditional punching and cutting method is not only pure in low precision, but also has burrs on the cutting edge. After cutting, the surface of the product is easy to leave residues, and the cleanliness is low. It is very unfriendly to the high requirements of medical products. The use of stainless steel hypotube laser cutting machine to cut medical tubes can avoid the limitations of traditional technology, and carry out batch and accurate production of hypotubes.
