Stent

This is the laser processing for making stents which are used in catheterization of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. The minimum cutting width of 20μm enables to form a complex fine shape that could be impossible to process by ordinary cutting methods.

Spiral pipe

A spiral groove is cut on a FUTA-Q’s β-titanium pipe, which features anti-corrosive, strong, elastic, and light, by the laser micro processing technology used for stent making.
This “β-titanium spiral pipe” achieved flexible maneuverability that has never been provided. By adjusting the slit width and the pitch, its flexibility and springiness can be controlled in each section respectively.
Stainless steel and NiTi can be processed as well as β-titanium mentioned above.

Micro forceps

We have succeeded in making a pair of small medical forceps for surgery by cutting out a titanium block.
The extremely small size, the 0.3 mm in diameter of the shaft and 1.0 mm long of the tip section, enables accurate operation with corrosive resistivity of titanium and our precise finishing.

Cannula

These are medical cannulas whose tip is head-sealed by laser welding, having no dead volume on which a side hole is opened at the needle tip with high accuracy.
