Tanaka’s new Visi Fine series of precious metal materials, including platinum alloy wire, offers X-ray opacity as well as oxidation and corrosion resistance.
Incorporating radiopaque materials into parts of medical devices may help support clinicians in accurately positioning and operating those devices under X-ray guidance during endovascular catheter procedures.
Medical device design engineers may face challenges designing such devices, however, as “in the field of functional materials for medical devices, only a limited number of materials offer high X-ray opacity,” explains Yusuke Minagawa, section manager (medical device product manager) of the sales department at Tanaka Precious Metal Technologies. “Therefore, we recognize a growing need for the development of new materials to achieve further performance improvements.
