Minimally Invasive Through Material Innovation
Advanced cardiovascular solutions involve increasingly intricate, less invasive surgeries. To enable minimally invasive surgeries, implants and instrumentation must be smaller and stronger than ever before. Our premium materials have superior metallurgical properties in addition to biocompatibility and radiopacity to satisfy critical design criteria in intricate, small dimensions. The result is less invasive surgeries with better patient outcomes.
Our materials enable expandable stents with high elastic modulus, low recoil, and thinner struts through strong tensile properties. Reducing strut thickness improves clinical performance and reduces stent size, enabling access to smaller vessels.
Nonmagnetic with a unique combination of ultra-high tensile strength, good ductility and toughness, with excellent corrosion resistance
Nonmagnetic solid-solution strengthened cobalt base alloy with oxidation-corrosion, good ductility, and toughness
Stability under high fatigue requirements and good ductility with a combination of strength and corrosion resistance. Non ferromagnetic, and MRI safe
Minimally invasive procedures via small keyhole incisions minimize patient damage and accelerate healing times. Small-diameter cobalt allows for efficient processing for fine applications to enable minimally invasive surgeries.
