FAQs About Medical Grade Platinum Iridium (Pt90/Ir10) Tubes
1.What is the standard alloy composition for your platinum iridium tubing?
We primarily offer Pt90/Ir10 (90% platinum, 10% iridium), the industry standard for optimal balance of radiopacity, strength, and biocompatibility in marker bands and stents.
2.Why choose platinum iridium alloy over tantalum or gold for marker bands?
Platinum iridium provides superior radiopacity at thinner walls, better mechanical durability, and excellent long-term corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice for demanding implantable medical devices.
3.Is this tubing suitable for implantable medical applications?
Yes. It is produced from biocompatible, medical-grade materials that meet ASTM and ISO standards for long-term implantation.
4.Can the tubing be supplied in cut marker band form?
We offer both raw platinum iridium tubing and finished radiopaque marker bands cut to precise lengths with burr-free edges.
5.Do you provide material certifications and traceability?
Yes, full material certifications, lot traceability, and compliance documentation are provided to support regulatory requirements (FDA, CE, etc.).
