Application Note How to create deep black and safe markings on medical stainless steel instruments

Ultrashort pulse lasers are the first choice for deep black marking of medical stainless steel instruments and implants. However, there are important criteria that need to be taken into account to ensure that the marking complies with medical technology standards and regulations.Traceability and product safety can only be guaranteed if the marking is permanent and legible: It is crucial that the marking is sharp in contrast, non-reflective and at the same time withstands numerous cleaning and sterilization cycles so that it neither fades nor corrodes. Therefore, a marking solution is required that is particularly gentle on the material and at the same time powerful.
