Gold Marker Band Description
Gold Marker Band is a small, thin ring made of gold, often used in medical devices, particularly in catheters and other minimally invasive tools used in interventional procedures. These bands are typically made from high-purity gold due to its radiopacity, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. The primary function of gold marker bands is to provide a visible marker under X-ray or fluoroscopic imaging, allowing medical professionals to precisely locate and position medical devices within the body during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Gold Marker Band Applications
- Cardiovascular Procedures: Gold marker bands are extensively used in cardiovascular catheters, including those for balloon angioplasty, stent deployment, and other interventional cardiology and radiology procedures. They help in the precise placement of stents and other therapeutic devices within arteries or the heart.
- Neurovascular Procedures: In neurovascular interventions, such as those targeting aneurysms or other vascular abnormalities in the brain, gold marker bands assist in accurately navigating devices through the complex vascular structures of the brain.
- Peripheral Vascular Procedures: They are also used in devices intended for peripheral vascular interventions, aiding in treatments of diseases affecting non-coronary arteries and veins.
- Urological and Gastroenterological Procedures: Gold marker bands find applications in catheters and devices used for treatments within the urinary tract and gastrointestinal tract, providing precise navigation and placement.
