Technology Transfer

At GTI Medical, we are happy to share our knowhow, which is based on more than 25 years of experience, with other companies or Institutions.

As a company known for its creative processes and unconventional solutions we do not just think outside the box, we think like there is no box.

TT project may include, upon request, a full technical data package and training of employees.

The following major technologies can be transferred:

Laser cutting of different types of stents (Nitinol, SS316LVM or CoCr).

Electro polishing processes for Nitinol, SS316, CoCr, MP35N and Titanium parts.

Laser welding of markers made of different materials mainly to increase radiopacity (Tantalum, Au, Pt-Ir etc.).

Projects GTI completed to date:

Technology transfer of Electro-polish process, including design and built of a dedicated semi automatic production line with a chemical hood for Nitinol stents and parts (for US company).

Design and built of low cost Af measurement device.

Process transfer for Laser cutting of miniature resistor parts made of 10µmm sheet metal thickness.

Laser Markings

There has been an increase in demand for medical device manufacturers to include Unique Device Identification (UDI) in their marking process.

GTI is experienced in complying with UDI requests.

Why Laser Marking is an Effective Solution:

Permanence through the product life span.

High contrast marking.

Sterilization resistant.

Flexibility through digital digitization.

Hygienic and smooth.

Laser markings for medical devices and instruments provide greater accuracy in reporting and traceability while reducing medical errors by allowing health care workers to quickly identify instruments.

Laser Welding

GTI Medical offers precise spot and CNC seam welding for various materials including Stainless Steel, Nitinol, Tantalum, Platinum Iridium, Brass & Cobalt Chrome.

GTI’s Skillset includes:

Proficiency in creating complicated joins of dissimilar materials.

Low heat application minimizes the distortion of the product.

High strength welds to eliminate the need for a filler material to be used.

Micro spot welding for Radiopaque Marker in Tantalum, Gold and Pt/Ir.

Precision welding thin wire components of dissimilar materials for delivery systems.

Welding Electrode rings to wire leads for delivery systems & electro leads to wire leads.

Accuracy to weld miniature parts without damaging them.

In house Tensile testing and reporting of wire welded parts.

Electropolish & other surface treatments

Experts in providing superb Electropolish treatment on Nitinol, Stainless Steel & Cobalt Chrome parts.

Four main advantages to perform EP treatment on products after laser processing are:

Breaks sharp edges to prevent vein & artery damage during surgeries.

Boosts corrosion resistance & biocompatibility of the product.

Improves fatigue life of medical parts.

Enhances product visibility (shine).

Passivation:

The benefits for this surface treatment process include:

Improve corrosion & rust resistance.

Strengthen & preserve the appearance of the metal after laser cutting.

Allows for higher bath temperatures and the use of ultrasonics.

Decrease and eliminate heavy metal ion while retaining the appearance of the part.
