Palladium Marker Band Description
Palladium Marker Band is a small ring used in medical devices, particularly in minimally invasive medical instruments like catheters and guidewires. These bands are made from palladium or its alloys, which are chosen for their excellent radiopacity, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. The primary function of palladium marker bands is to enhance the visibility of the medical device under X-ray or fluoroscopic imaging, allowing for precise navigation and placement within the body during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

Palladium Marker Band Applications
- Vascular Stents: Palladium Marker Bands are used in stents for peripheral and coronary artery diseases, where they help in the precise placement of the stent and ensure it expands to the intended shape.
- Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: In devices used for repairing aneurysms, marker bands can indicate the location and orientation of the device to ensure accurate deployment.
- Orthopedic Devices: For minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries, Palladium Marker Bands can help in accurately positioning implants or tools.
- Urological and Gastrointestinal Devices: In stents, catheters, and guidewires used within the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, these bands assist in navigation and placement.
- Dental Applications: Nitinol is used in dental implants and devices, where marker bands could aid in the precise location and assessment of the device's position.
