Laser Ablation Technology
Selective OD (Outer Diameter) ablation is an advanced laser-processing technique used to precisely remove material from the outer surface of plastic or polymer tubing at specific locations along its length.
By selectively ablating individual layers without affecting surrounding areas, this process enables the creation of highly accurate catheter irrigation holes, windows, and other critical features.
Selective OD ablation also improves surface preparation for secondary bonding operations, helping ensure strong, reliable bonds while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances and the integrity of the tubing structure.
