Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices Laser welding has become a technology of choice to join plastic parts of complex medical devices.
Since polymers interact differently with laser energy, making them more or less suitable for laser welding, special polymer solutions can be used to enhance a polymer’s ability to interact with the laser energy and achieve a good weld.
It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
