Comparison of dry and wet fibre laser precision cutting for coronary stent manufacture
Noorhafiza, Muhammad; Whitehead, David; Boor, Alan; Li, Lin (Laser Institute of America, 2010)High precision laser micromachining is extensively used in medical device industry. In medical stent fabrication, the processed stents must exhibit mechanically robust structures and high surface quality. High cost of post ... -
Comparison of dry and wet fibre laser profile cutting of thin 316L stainless steel tubes for medical device applications
Noorhafiza, Muhammad; Whitehead, David; Boor, Alan; Li, Lin (Elsevier B.V., 2010-11-19)In medical coronary stent fabrication, high precision profile cutting with minimum post-processing is desirable. Existing methods of profiling thin tubular metallic materials are based mainly on the use of Nd:YAG lasers. ... -
Picosecond laser fabrication of nitinol for coronary stent applications
Noorhafiza, Muhammad; Whitehead, David; Viejo, F.,; Abuaisha, R.,; Boor, Alan; Oppenlaendar, W.,; Liu, Zhi; Li, Lin (Laser Institute of America, 2010)Nitinol (a shape memory nickel-titanium alloy) is one of the desirable materials for medical stents applications, due to its high corrosion resistance, self-expansion and biocompatibility. The stents are commonly fabricated ... -
Picosecond laser micromachining of nitinol and platinum-iridium alloy for coronary stent applications
Noorhafiza, Muhammad; Whitehead, David; Boor, Alan; Oppenlander, W.; Liu, Zhu; Li, Lin (Springer-Verlag, 2012-03)The demand for micromachining of coronary stents by means of industrial lasers rises quickly for treating coronary artery diseases, which cause more than one million deaths each year. The most widely used types of laser ...
