Patent abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for processing a medical device formed from a bioabsorbable metallic material. The method begins by generating a beam of radiation onto the bioabsorbable metallic material. The radiation beam is transmitted through a fluid medium and onto a heat affected zone (HAZ) of the bioabsorbable metallic material to thereby cool the HAZ and reduce a concentration of oxygen surrounding the HAZ.
