When it comes to biomedical applications, Ring Electrodes play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of various medical devices. These electrodes are often integrated with Radiopaque Marker Bands to enhance their visibility during imaging procedures. Ring electrodes are typically made from conductive materials such as Platinum-iridium alloy, which offers excellent electrical conductivity and biocompatibility. This makes them ideal for use in devices like pacemakers and neurostimulators, where reliable electrical contact is essential. One of the key advantages of using Platinum-iridium alloy in ring electrodes is its resistance to corrosion. This ensures that the electrodes maintain their performance over time, even when exposed to bodily fluids. Additionally, the alloy's radiopacity allows for easy tracking of the device during implantation and follow-up procedures. In some cases, ring electrodes are combined with Capillary tubes to facilitate the delivery of medic...

Marker bands are essential components in the medical device industry, particularly in the design of catheters and guidewires. Among the various types of marker bands, Radiopaque Marker Bands stand out due to their ability to enhance visibility under X-ray imaging. These bands are typically made from materials like Tantalum or Platinum-iridium alloy, which are known for their high density and radiopacity. Radiopaque marker bands are strategically placed on medical devices to help healthcare professionals accurately locate and position the device within the body. This is especially crucial during minimally invasive procedures, where precision is key. The use of Tantalum in these bands ensures that they are not only visible but also biocompatible, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. In addition to their radiopacity, marker bands must be durable and resistant to corrosion. This is where materials like Platinum-iridium alloy come into play. These alloys offer excellent mechanical prop...

Tungsten, or wolfram, is a chemical element with the symbol W and atomic number 74. The most important properties of tungsten are high melting point and high density. Meanwhile, the hardness is high and its ductility is poor to other refractory metals. All the properties make tungsten metal hard to be machined, here we will introduce the machining process for tungsten tube & crucible, Plate, Sheet & Foil. As tungsten’s relatively poor machability, the process & machine selection is very important. It might be crack in the process seriously, or not able to reach the tolerance. The raw material and annealing process counts a lot too. After sintering, the tungsten blank will be forged, to make a higher density and better mechanical properties. Process of tungsten plate: Thicker plate or block is forged from ingot, and ground to tight tolerance. Thinner plate or sheet are made by hot rolling process, annealing if carried between each rolling. Annealing is to make the mater...
