In the development of medical devices, what are the primary uses and application areas of medical tungsten wire ropes? Many non-medical professionals may not be very familiar with this question. As a professional supplier of medical metal materials, Shanghai Wewei Technology will provide answers and clarification in this article.
Medical tungsten wire ropes, with their high density, high strength, excellent rigidity, and fatigue resistance, have become indispensable key components for numerous high-end interventional devices. Their primary applications are concentrated in the following five major scenarios:
Core Application Areas:
1. Balloon catheter forming restraint wire
As a "temporary mold," it is used to compress and shape the balloon, ensuring it maintains a minimal profile during delivery and smoothly expands upon reaching the lesion site.
2. Core Reinforcement Component of Interventional Devices
Embedded within the catheter or guidewire, it serves as a reinforcement core, delivering exceptional push force, resistance to compression, and torque transmission, ensuring precise navigation of the instrument through tortuous vasculature.
3. Orthopedic Surgical Internal Fixation System
Used as high-strength, highly biocompatible tension band wire to provide robust internal fixation support for fracture sites.
4. Embolization Therapy Delivery System
As a guidewire for delivery, it stably transports embolic agents such as coils to the target site with its high rigidity and precise maneuverability.
5. Radioactive Particle Implantation Chain
Shanghai Wewei Technology provides ultra-fine and high-precision medical tungsten wire ropes within the range of Φ 0.072mm~6.0mm, with various specifications and structures that can be customized for stable performance.
