Precious Metal Marker Bands
91快活林 produces precious metal marker bands and electrode rings from thin-wall seamless tubing in our facility in Switzerland. Marker bands are small rings used in various MedTech applications, such as catheters and delivery systems. Electrode rings are precious metal rings with very low electrical resistance, used for electrophysiology and cardiac rhythm management.
Working with platinum and platinum-iridium, we have refined a proprietary manufacturing process that ensures high precision and a burr-free finish. To meet diverse customer needs, we offer both off-the-shelf sizes for rapid development and custom solutions tailored to unique device requirements.
Precious Metal Marker Band and Electrode Ring Applications
Precious metals are used in marker bands for their radiopacity, which makes them visible in medical imaging such as X-rays and allows medical professionals to precisely track the position of devices within the body.
Our precious metal marker bands and electrode rings are used in a variety of advanced medical devices and applications, including:
- Catheters
- Delivery systems
- Implants
- Electrophysiology
- Cardiac rhythm management
- Angioplasty
- Angiography
