Norman Noble, the world's leading contract manufacturer of next-generation medical implants, today announced the launch of the Noble STEALTH HP, an ultrashort pulse laser for the fabrication of innovative medical devices and implants.

It is reported that the laser is mainly equipped with a high-power laser cutting system, which can achieve high-quality cutting results without heat affected zone (HAZ).

Dan Stefano, Vice President of Manufacturing at Norman Noble, said: "We are excited to announce the launch of our STEALTH HP laser cutting technology. This state-of-the-art laser cutting process provides the ability to cut thick wall Nitinol medical devices without heat affected zones, while reducing the need for expensive secondary operations.

This technology, coupled with our fully automated/proven processes, continues to position Norman Noble as a leading contract manufacturer for the production of medical devices and implants."

The Noble STEALTH HP is an ultrashort pulsed laser that reduces or eliminates costly deburring and post-processing steps because it can cut without a heat-affected zone. These elements improve the quality and yield of medical devices. Non-thermal lasers make it possible to process the next generation of vascular and orthopaedic implants that would otherwise be impossible to produce.
