ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE [0027] A system (100) and method for producing a matte finish on a silicon surgical blade or other surface, wherein the system comprises a computer (2), laser and lens assembly (8), and an x-y coordinate controller (6) which controls the position of the laser in accordance with received instructions. The method comprises creating a design or pattern (200) to be ablated on the surgical blade by the laser (8). A data set is then generated from file representing the design or pattern, and the data set instructions are sent to the x-y coordinate controller (6) and laser and lens assembly (8). The x-y coordinate controller (6) moves the laser (8) to a location where a crater (212, 214) is to be formed, and the laser illuminates the surgical blade, burning a pit or crater of pre-determined diameter, depth and spacing into the surgical blade. The process then rapidly repeats itself until the design or pattern has been created in the surgical blade (10). |
