Description
Technical Parameters
Platinum iridium ring is mainly used in biomedicine, is used as the remote work area X-ray development marker ring, interventional therapy for minimally invasive treatment, the catheter (such as guiding catheter, balloon catheter, etc.) for soft plastic and thin diameter, so the development ring has very small size (mm or micron level), extremely thin thickness (mostly dozens of microns), extremely high dimensional precision and good surface finish and plasticity.
