Platinum Iridium Marker Band Description

Platinum Iridium Alloy combines the best properties of both metals, offering exceptional chemical stability and biocompatibility. Platinum Iridium Marker Band is an ideal material for invasive medical interventions. The commonly used composition is PtIr10. During applications, the platinum iridium marker band does not cause any additional damage to human tissue and is used as an X-ray imaging marker for the working area in minimally invasive medical procedures. Heeger Metal can supply high-precision platinum iridium marker bands in various sizes and customized designs for multiple industrial and research applications.

Performance Comparison: Platinum Iridium vs Tantalum Marker Band

PropertyPlatinum Iridium Marker BandTantalum Marker Band
Material DensityHigh (~21.5 g/cm³), excellent radiopacityModerately high (~16.6 g/cm³), slightly less radiopaque than platinum iridium
BiocompatibilityExcellent, widely used in implants, non-toxic, resistant to bodily fluidsGood, suitable for implants, but slightly less resistant to long-term exposure
Corrosion ResistanceExceptional, resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and high temperaturesGood, but less resistant in extreme chemical environments
Mechanical StrengthHigh, wear-resistant, ideal for high-stress medical applicationsModerate, slightly lower strength, requires careful handling to avoid deformation
MachinabilityChallenging, requires specialized equipment, and high-cost processingEasier, lower processing costs than platinum iridium
CostHigher, due to precious metals (platinum and iridium)Lower, tantalum is more cost-effective
Primary ApplicationsHigh-end vascular interventions (e.g., coronary stents), neuro-interventions, and implant positioningStandard vascular catheters, stent markers, diagnostic catheters

Platinum Iridium Marker Band Applications

  • Vascular Interventions: Used as marker bands on catheters or stents to assist physicians in precisely locating catheter tips or stent positions under X-ray or fluoroscopy, commonly applied in coronary, neurovascular, or peripheral vascular procedures.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Integrated into minimally invasive surgical tools (e.g., guidewires or balloon catheters) to enhance imaging guidance, ensuring accuracy in cardiovascular or neurosurgical operations.
  • Implantable Medical Devices: Embedded in implants such as vascular stents or filters as positioning markers, facilitating post-operative monitoring and follow-up.
  • Radiation Therapy Localization: Employed as localization markers in certain radiation therapies to guide radiation beams accurately, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
  • Diagnostic Catheters: Utilized in diagnostic angiography catheters to provide clear imaging markers, ensuring precise positioning within complex vascular structures.

Platinum Iridium Marker Band Packaging

Platinum Iridium Marker Band is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional soft materials to support and prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
