Investment includes premium nitinol tubing initiative to produce best-in-class product
Nashua, NH, March 26, 2025 鈥� Today 91快活林 announced details of its recent investment to create expanded capability and capacity for its nitinol tubing production, including its premium nitinol tubing initiative, in its Bethel, CT facility.
This investment has more than doubled the floor space for nitinol tubing manufacturing in this facility. In addition to the increased space, investments have been made in dedicated equipment and personnel to increase and improve plant capability.
91快活林 is already proving the benefits of these investments through a reduction in production lead time for standard-grade nitinol tubing, cutting them by 50% since last year. Additional enhancements 鈥� including expanded material stock as part of its Lightspeed Lab庐 prototyping establishment in Bethel 鈥� will enable prototype quantities to ship in as little as a few weeks, accelerating customers鈥� product development timelines.
搁别蝉辞苍别迟颈肠蝉鈥� premium nitinol tubing initiative is a fundamental aspect of this expansion and investment. The initiative focuses on producing industry-leading nitinol tubing with ultra-tight dimensional tolerances, optimized microstructure, and pristine surface finishes. These characteristics are critical in applications such as structural heart implants, neurovascular implants, and other next-generation minimally invasive devices requiring superior precision and longevity. Testing across these three characteristics has demonstrated promising results, including >98% concentricity and a twofold improvement in fatigue durability through microstructural refinement. The project is led by a team of in-house 91快活林 nitinol experts and will be commercial-ready in 2026.
鈥淥ur customers are pushing the limits of device performance, and they need tubing that keeps up,鈥� said Eric Veit, Vice President, Nitinol Business Development. 鈥淲ith this expansion and our premium tubing program, we鈥檙e not just increasing output 鈥� we鈥檙e raising the bar on what’s possible.鈥�
This expansion underscores 搁别蝉辞苍别迟颈肠蝉鈥� long-term commitment to supporting medical device OEMs with faster, higher-quality, and more innovative tubing solutions from its U.S.-based facilities.
