This time is a golden period for the medical devices industry such as surgical instruments manufacturers . After announcing to increase coal and gas production in the nation, the Narendra Modi-led government now aims to ramp up medical devices manufacturing to boost the flagship scheme of ‘Make in India’.
With a current market size of nearly $11 billion, the government expects India’s medical tools & equipment industry to reach $50 billion by 2025. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of MSME said earlier this week that his department has already planned to set up five parks to manufacture low-cost medical devices in the country. This new rule would attract more investors and manufacturers which helps to boost medical industry to the peak.
The medical industry is one of the most high-risk product manufacturing industries. Ranging from Wheel Chair to scissors, all products are directly related to the health of the patient.
If some error while manufacturing these surgical or medical products, it might prove to be very costly to live. Another problem is also faced by medical OEMs is Counterfeiting, this problem not only causes a lot of money to the manufacturer but risks the lives of millions as well. To deal with these dilemmas one of the key solutions is the Traceability of the medical instruments and equipment.
Medical instruments and devices must meet traceability requirements UDI (Unique Device Identification), which are based on ISO Standards.
To meet the requirements standard-compliant codes must be specified on medical products to ensure traceability. This means that by scanning the code, you can obtain information such as the manufacturer’s name, item reference or expiration date. This allows error-free documentation and helps ensure patient life safety.
Emtex Laser Markings are an ideal solution because they are resistant to acids, cleaners or bodily fluids. Also, the surface structure remains the same and depending on the marking or labeling process, Surgical instruments can be kept clean and sterile more easily.
Nowadays laser is becoming more and more important in the medical industry. Laser marking is a standard technology in many areas of the medical industry. Emtex laser marking machines are ideal for marking data matrix codes that contain batch nos., production dates, serial nos, manufacturer information, product information as well as anti-counterfeiting measures.
Through Emtex laser technology, you can mark any graphical patterns, logo, design,text and any other information on medical tools & equipments , which has clear and fine marking lines and are not erasable and indelible. Laser technology can produce serial numbers, bar codes automatically with equipped software for the productions.
Emtex machines are perfect for laser marking on medical devices, orthopedic and other surgical instruments.
In the medical industry, laser marking technology is used for different applications
Surgical instruments: instruments are made of metals and plastics, they must need a mark of different quality standards like ISI, MDR ( medical device regulation), UDI and other medical traceability.
Bone Prostheses: Bone prostheses are used for partially or totally replace a bone in the human body. Most common materials are used metal, ceramic or highly cross-linked polyethylene.
Dental Implants: A dental implants are made of titanium material.
THE MOST COMMON MATERIALS USED FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS ARE:
- Stainless steel
- Titanium and titanium alloys
- Tantalum, Platinium, and Palladium
- High alloy steel
- Coated Metals
- Ceramic
- Plastics
Stainless Steel has high grades for surgical instruments because it is a tough metal that is very resistant to corrosion. The metal must be relatively malleable so it can be shaped without causing defects, but not too malleable as it needs to hold its shape once manufactured. Depending on the instrument, the metal used may also need to be fairly ductile, as many surgical instruments are thin & long e.g Scalpels, forceps, scissors, &so on.
The laser technology is poison-free,pollution-free.
The Laser marking is a standard technology in medical industry & it is ideal for marking Data Matrix Codes, Bar Codes and QR Codes that contain batch nos., production dates, serial nos, manufacturer information, product information as well as anti-counterfeiting measures.
Emtex offers solutions of an incomparable quality where safety and hygiene are fast rules for the well being of patients.
