TRUMPF Exhibitions: How laser technology is helping to save millions of lives

With the global increase in heart attacks, strict laws and regulations in the medical device market, the demand for stents is on the rise. Millions of these small but life-saving pieces are inserted into the human body every year. The flexible laser-cut tubes dilate blood and nerve pathways, and demand for them is booming. But supply is panting behind.

And that’s where Alpine Laser’s success story comes in. Together with Alpine Laser, we’re providing them with our precise laser technologies to build the world’s fastest precision laser tube cutting system to make stent manufacturing even more efficient and meet the growing demand in the medical field.
