Medical Markings – Revolutionizing the
Medical Industry
Medical markings are increasingly becoming the priority of the manufacturers of
medical equipment and devices due to their absolute significance in the medical
industry. The permanent marks are used for implants, medical instruments, and
devices. Despite of their importance, medical markings are not a very simple
concept to understand. These markings have special requisites such as ensuring
the abolition of the creation of hygiene traps.
Additionally, medical marks must survive autoclaves and passivation, which means
for the ease in tracing the manufacturer and the material in situations where
medical devices, implants and equipments stop to function, medical marks should
be made sufficiently permanent. However, avoiding the creation of hygiene traps
is impossible in marking processes mostly. The markings used for implants require
being bold and visible so that it is easy for the surgeons to identify them.
Moreover, to make marking implants permanent the marks have to place on
curved surfaces that only increase the complexity.

Now the question is, with so many difficulties, how is one supposed to make
medical markings? The answer is ‘Laser Marking Machine’.
All the complexities of medical markings can be overcome by laser marking. Due
to their sensitivity, medical markings make use of lasers. These lasers range from
medium to high powered for making permanent marks. To create a hygiene-traps
free low impact surface laser markings are best, as they do not encounter the
curved surfaces. Moreover, lasers can give high marks visibility by making them
bold and clear.
The requisites of medical markings, which include permanent markings that are
free of hygiene traps, are bold, clear, and resistant to passivation, exist in almost
every country, especially in Europe. The reason for this is that CE marking
directives control the manufacturers of medical devices. The CE markings check
the devices for environmental, health and safety standards. This CE marking is

must for every medical instruments being sold in Europe. Hence, this makes
employment of laser marks in the marking process even more necessary.
In present times, it is not only
medical equipments and devices that
are manufactured for impressing
medical marks precisely, but there
are many medical marking devices
too. The distinctive feature of these
marking devices is that, apart from
medical devices, they can also mark implant on the patient’s skin. Some of these
devices can embed vital data of the patient into the marking for the surgical
procedure and have the ability to leave a machine-readable marking.
Therefore, there is no denying the importance of medical markings in the medical
industry; they have advanced the medical procedures and systems immensely. It
wouldn’t be wrong to conclude that these markings have revolutionized the
industry. Not only do they provide easier detection of devices and implants,
medical markings have also made the surgical procedures extremely sophisticated.
It can be assumed that with the rapid innovation in technology, many other
benefits can be gained from medical markings.You can visit www.heatsign.com
