Selective manipulation of material for medical devices and methods and devices made therefrom

A method for manufacturing a medical device comprising:

• providing a first component and a second component, positioning the first component and the second component adjacent to one another,
• at least one of the first component and the second component having an energy absorption region, the energy absorption region constructed and arranged to at least partially absorb a first predetermined wavelength of energy,
• at least one of the first component and the second component having a first energy transparent region, the first energy transparent region being substantially transparent to the first predetermined wavelength of energy;
• transmitting the first predetermined wavelength of energy through the first energy transparent region;
• and
• transmitting the first predetermined wavelength of energy to the energy absorption region, the energy absorption region substantially absorbing the first predetermined wavelength of energy, the energy absorption region being heated by substantially absorbing the first predetermined wavelength of energy.
