For internal use, plastic medical equipment marking must be permanent and smooth. No material leakage or friction is allowed inside the human body; moreover small size is an important requirement too.

Urinary catheters represent such a case. The customer’s request is to mark a readable scale, made of ticks and numbers, on these 3 mm diameter pellethane™ tubes. Material color is white, so dark contrast is what we’re looking for, without any surface foaming or burning.

DLA-LASER MARKING'S SOLUTION

Datalogic’s Violino UV laser marker, with its 355 nm wavelength, is able to change the surface color from white to grey. Scanhead and 160 mm F-theta lens cover up to 110 mm marking areas.
