High-precision medical stent cutting by laser micromachining

custom-made medical stent made in France

French company specializing in micro-mechanics Medical, we are experts in cutting stent by laser micromachining on small-diameter tubes. In this way, we support manufacturers of implantable medical devices in the design, optimization, and production of medical stents that meet the strictest regulatory and biomechanical requirements.

Technical expertise dedicated to stent cutting

Stent cutting is the key step in stent manufacturing. It directly influences:

Mechanical performance
Longitudinal flexibility
Radial resistance
The security of the installation

Our workshop is exclusively dedicated to precision laser micromachining on thin tube, with a specialization in the micro cutting medical stent.

We regularly work on projects with significant technical constraints requiring:

Strict micrometer tolerances
Complex structures with high mesh density
Control of thermal effects
Industrial repeatability

Why choose Steec's expertise?

Made in France

All our medical stents are manufactured at our Brindas facility. This French production guarantees responsiveness, on-time delivery, and enhanced quality control. We ensure complete traceability from prototype to production run. Our clients benefit from a single technical contact based in France.

Complementary industrial expertise

We have mastered micromechanics using wire and die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). We also perform machining on machining centers and precision micromachining. This versatility ensures a comprehensive response to complex medical projects.

Quality commitment

STEEC implements a structured and documented quality management system. The company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certified. Each manufacturing stage adheres to strict internal processes. Our teams ensure quality control.

QUALITY COMMITMENT

STEEC focuses on specific expertise in implantable tubular medical devices.

Displaying Stent Types

Coronary stent Peripheral stent Carotid stent iliac stent Femoral stent Popliteal stent Renal stent Aortic stent Intracranial stent Neurovascular stent Venous stent Stent cave (Vena Cava) Biliary stent Pancreatic stent Esophageal stent Gastric stent Duodenal stent Colic stent Rectal stent Ureteral stent Urethral stent Prostate stent Tracheal stent Bronchial stent Pulmonary stent Lacrimal stent

Mastering strategic materials for medical stents

Our expertise in stent cutting applies to the main materials used in cardiology and implantable devices:

Nitinol (shape memory alloy)
Medical grade stainless steel
Cobalt chrome

Laser cutting of nitinol requires precise control of thermal parameters to preserve the stent's mechanical properties. Our expertise in laser machining ensures optimal structural stability and geometric regularity.

Structured industrial process for stent cutting

Our methodology is based on a rigorous and documented approach.

Technical analysis and feasibility validation

Study of stent design, simulation of mechanical stresses and validation of stent cutting parameters.

Parameterization and optimization of laser micromachining

Defining trajectories, adjusting laser pulses and controlling thermally affected areas.

Quality control and traceability

Micrometric dimensional inspection, high-resolution visual control and validation of the technical criteria of the medical stent.

Each step of the stent cutting process is documented to ensure complete industrial traceability.

From research & development to mass production

We support our clients throughout the entire industrial cycle:

Medical stent prototype
Optimization during the R&D phase
Pre-industrialization
Secure series production

Our expertise in stent micro-cutting guarantees a smooth transition between development and industrialization.

Commitment to quality and industrial reliability

The making of a medical stent imposes a high level of requirements.

Our organization is based on:

Internal quality control procedures
Mastering critical stent cutting parameters
Personalized technical support
Confidentiality of R&D projects

We position high-precision stent cutting as a strategic expertise at the service of medical device manufacturers.
