CerMark for Medical Tools\Devices and Food Items
CerMark laser marking solutions are trusted by manufacturers across industries, especially in the medical field. Whether you're marking surgical instruments, dental tools, or implants, CerMark offers a durable and cost-effective solution. Here's what you need to know:
✅ FDA Approval: What It Means for You
CerMark is a laser bonding coating, not a standalone medical product. As such, it does not require FDA approval on its own. Instead, FDA approval must be obtained by the medical device manufacturer, incorporating CerMark into their overall production process.
Many of our customers have successfully used CerMark in their FDA-approved devices, demonstrating its reliability and compliance when used correctly.
🔒 Durability That Meets Medical Standards
Medical devices must endure rigorous cleaning and sterilization. CerMark laser marks are designed to withstand:
- Autoclave sterilization
- Passivation (ASTM A967)
- Citric corrosion testing (ASTM A380)
Our customers have reported excellent results, with marks remaining intact and legible even after repeated exposure to harsh conditions.
🛠️ Applications & Recommended Products
CerMark is ideal for marking:
- Surgical tools (high-grade stainless steel)
- Dental equipment (anodized aluminum)
Recommended CerMark products:
- LMM 6000 or LMM14 – for stainless steel
- LMM6018 tape – for anodized aluminum
⚙️ Laser Bonding vs. Direct Laser Marking
Traditional marking methods using YAG or fiber lasers can cause corrosion if not precisely calibrated. CerMark offers a better alternative:
- Uses affordable CO₂ lasers
- Resistant to corrosion, UV, and abrasion
- Produces sharper, smoother marks
CerMark’s laser bonding process is not only more reliable but also more cost-effective.
💬 Customer Testimonial
“We’re extremely pleased with the results of the LMM14 spray. Using a CO₂ laser, we mark stainless steel products for vascular surgeries.
Unlike YAG laser marks, which failed due to rusting, CerMark passed all tests—chipping, rubbing, corrosion (ASTM A380), visual inspection, and cytotoxicity. Even after citric passivation (ASTM A967), the marks stayed intact.
CerMark has enabled us to achieve high-quality results with a more affordable laser system.”
