PtIr vs Ta Marker Band Performance Comparison

Property	PtIr Marker Band	Ta Marker Band
Material Density	High (~21.5 g/cm³), excellent radiopacity	Moderately high (~16.6 g/cm³), slightly less radiopaque than platinum iridium
Biocompatibility	Excellent, widely used in implants, non-toxic, resistant to bodily fluids	Good, suitable for implants, but slightly less resistant to long-term exposure
Corrosion Resistance	Exceptional, resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and high temperatures	Good, but less resistant in extreme chemical environments
Mechanical Strength	High, wear-resistant, ideal for high-stress medical applications	Moderate, slightly lower strength, requires careful handling to avoid deformation
Machinability	Challenging, requires specialized equipment, and high-cost processing	Easier, lower processing costs than platinum iridium
Cost	Higher, due to precious metals (platinum and iridium)	Lower, tantalum is more cost-effective
Primary Applications	High-end vascular interventions (e.g., coronary stents), neuro-interventions, and implant positioning	Standard vascular catheters, stent markers, diagnostic catheters

Platinum Iridium Marker Band Advantages

High Radiopacity: Clearly visible under X-ray or fluoroscopic imaging, allowing precise device positioning.
Excellent Biocompatibility: Safe for long-term contact with human tissue, minimizing risk during procedures.
Chemical Stability: Resists corrosion in bodily fluids and harsh sterilization processes.
Mechanical Strength: Maintains shape and integrity during device assembly and operation.
Minimal Tissue Impact: Does not cause damage or irritation to surrounding tissue during use.
Customizable Dimensions: Available in various sizes and designs to meet specific device requirements.

Platinum Iridium Marker Band Applications

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Used to mark the working area on catheters and guidewires for precise navigation under fluoroscopy.
Interventional Cardiology: Integrated into stents, balloon catheters, and other cardiovascular devices to aid accurate placement.
Neurovascular Procedures: Supports real-time imaging and positioning of microcatheters during delicate brain interventions.
Peripheral Vascular Devices: Applied in devices for treating peripheral artery disease, ensuring accurate deployment.
Medical Device Prototyping: Used in research and development for testing visibility and placement accuracy in imaging systems.

Platinum Iridium Marker Band Packing

The Platinum Iridium Marker Band will be carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons, with additional support from soft materials, to prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
