Tungsten Loaded HDPE Marker Band Description
Tungsten Loaded HDPE Marker Band is a specialized type of marker band used in medical devices, particularly in minimally invasive surgical instruments like catheters and guidewires. This marker band combines HDPE, a thermoplastic polymer known for its strength, durability, and biocompatibility, with tungsten, a metal known for its high density and radiopacity. The result is a composite material that is both radiopaque and compatible with the human body, making it ideal for use in medical imaging and procedures.

Tungsten Loaded HDPE Marker Band Applications
- Cardiovascular Procedures: They are widely used in catheters for angioplasty, stenting, and other cardiovascular interventions, where precise device placement is critical.
- Neurovascular Interventions: For navigating and positioning devices within the brain's complex vascular network, the enhanced visibility of gold-electroplated bands is invaluable.
- Peripheral Vascular Procedures: In treatments involving the body's peripheral arteries and veins, these marker bands aid in accurate device deployment.
- Endoscopic and Urological Procedures: The improved radiopacity is also beneficial in endoscopic and urological devices, ensuring that the medical tools reach the targeted area accurately.
