Product Description
Typical application : tantalum wire can be headed into tantalum ball or tantalum bead through cut of in the heading machine, then after flashing, grinding process to get the finished tantalum balls or tantalum beads; another shape is tantalum pin, cut and machined from rolls of tantalum wire ASTM F560, these medical grade of tantalum pins, tantalum balls, tantalum spheres and tantalum beads are used as tantalum wire markers or tantalum markers.
ASTM F560 medical grade Tantalum wire stents provide excellent radiopacity, flexibility, and structural support.
Medical grade Tantalum has been widely used in surgical applications such:
– in fracture repair;
– in dental applications;
– as a flexible stent to prevent arterial collapse;
– as a stent to treat biliary and arteriovenous (haemodialyzer) fistular stenosis;
– tantalum wire markers for improving x-ray radiopacity in implant applications.
– as a radiographic marker for diagnostic purposes, due its high density;
– as vascular clips, with the particular advantage that since tantalum is not ferromagnetic it is highly suited to MRI scanning;
– as the material of choice for permanent implantation in bone contributing to its excellent biocompatibility, as osteomigration prevents migration;
