Quick-turn laser processing for medical device applications through Proto Lase in the Twin Cities — with some of the shortest lead times in the industry.
Cut Tube Applications
- Stents and cut hypotube shafts
- Polymer ablation — OD reduction
- Marker bands and electrode rings
- Pull wire rings
- Wire stripping — reel to reel
- Hole drilling and laser welding

Laser Processes
- Tube cutting in nitinol and stainless steel
- Laser ablation for precise coating and material removal
- Laser welding for component assembly
- Laser marking for part identification and traceability
- Wire stripping for electrodes and conductors
Industries Served
Proto Lase works on cardiovascular, neurovascular, drug delivery and orthopedic devices, from first prototypes through production. Off-the-shelf 304 stainless steel pull-wire assemblies are also available in standard configurations for faster builds.
