The hypotube with the smallest footprint
Several feeder and unloader modules can be added for a fully automated solution. For example, with the StarFeed S, the machine can automatically load tubes with an outer diameter as small as 0.3mm. Other tube loading modules accommodate tubes that range from one–20mm in diameter.
Coherent cutting systems are ideal for high precision tube cutting.
Hypotubes are critical devices in minimally invasive surgery. Therefore, a hypotube needs to be small and flexible, its edges must be burr-free and the material it is composed of should be flexible and easy to sterilise. For reliable operation, a hypotube should be flexible when subject to a certain amount of torque and it must withstand kinking and pushing. Coherent StarCut Tube cutting systems are ideal for high precision tube cutting, as required for hypotubes. They can process a large variety of materials such as stainless steel, nitinol or polymers.
The tube is held via a 3-jaw- chuck. Blank tubes of any length are inserted manually or via a tube loader and the machine processes them automatically. The machine produces fine, accurate cuts with minimised edge dross. The high accuracy is achieved by high end motion systems mounted on granite or mineral cast machine structure. The Coherent StarCut Tube SL comes with the smallest footprint for this type of laser machine, minimising the use of valuable clean room space. It can be configured for manual and automated processing and can be equipped with a fibre laser, a femtosecond laser or both.
The versatile software and the integration of different laser sources enable high precision and high throughput, when needed. Application experts at Coherent have compiled more than 25 years of medical device manufacturing know-how. Customers can benefit from this experience in different ways, for example, by sending in samples for process development or through training.

Da/Pro Rubber manufactures custom products including diaphragms, seals, connectors, custom shapes, rubber-to-metal parts and more. Its facilities are located in Oklahoma, California, Massachusetts, Singapore, as well as Malaysia, and it has ISO 9001-certified facilities and a class 10,000 cleanroom. Known for high-precision, close- tolerance moulding services, Da/Pro Rubber can manufacture LIM/LSR products to these same demanding standards. The compression and transfer moulding consists of proprietary processes developed by Da/Pro Rubber. The presses are designed to adjust for compound or part-
in-house engineering department to assist with the mouldability of components. The company’s CAD/CAM capabilities guarantee effective precision tooling at competitive prices. To ensure product consistency, quality is monitored throughout each process, using a system based on ISO 9001 standards, an advanced statistical process control is used to monitor material properties and mixing, moulding operations and final product conformance to specification. The final proof of the success of these efforts is the part itself. To ensure quality, all parts are visually inspected to check that they conform to design criteria. In addition, leak and deflection testing for diaphragms and insulation testing for connector inserts may be specified. Whatever the customer’s moulding needs, Da/ Pro has the expertise, experience and world-class service necessary to find a solution.
