Laser micro-etching of polymer-based life science products

Micro-etching, or micro-stripping, is a term used to describe the use of a laser to selectively remove a top layer to expose the underlying material or to selectively remove a portion of material to a prescribed depth. In the case of etching or stripping polymer materials, especially polymer-based life science products — such as single-use medical devices or diagnostic consumables — depth…
