Harvard Health states that approximately 600,000 individuals in the United States receive angioplasty every year. However, other sources indicate that the number might be even higher, ranging from 965,000 to over a million. Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), is a minimally invasive procedure that employs a balloon-tipped catheter to open narrowed or blocked arteries. During the process, a catheter is placed into an artery, and a balloon is inflated at the blockage site to flatten or compress the plaque against the artery wall, thus enabling blood to flow more freely. Angioplasty is used to treat various conditions, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, carotid artery disease, and chronic kidney disease.

Why choose a braided vs coil shaft? With braid-reinforced catheters, the wire consists of interwoven strands to produce one robust and durable component. The design can be customized in many ways, including tweaking the size and density of the wires, the braid angles, and the pitch. If burst pressure – the pressure a tube can handle before rupturing – is a particular concern, braid reinforcement can be a great choice. Superior torque control is another advantage of braided designs. Coil-reinforced designs featuring an internal helical coil spring are typically chosen for their improved kink resistance. This helps prevent the catheter from twisting and collapsing through tortuous vessels, enabling quicker, more accessible, and more successful procedures. The coil can be adapted by playing with the diameter, pitch, and stiffness, which can improve the device’s ability to resist deformation. Questions? Contact us today for your next project!

Cardiac catheterization can diagnose conditions such as clogged arteries, irregular heartbeats, coronary artery disease, valve disease, or disease of the aorta. It can also treat heart flaws or replace heart valves without major surgery. There are two main types of cardiac catheterization, left and right, depending on which side of the heart the doctor enters. The procedure is usually performed at a hospital; most people will also need blood tests and an EKG beforehand. LightningCath is your partner for catheter components specializing in: ☑ STEERABLE CATHETERS ☑ REINFORCED CATHETERS ☑ MICRO CATHETERS ☑ BALLOON CATHETERS Contact Us Today! https://lnkd.in/gf3-9ZKF #cathetercomponents #cardiac #catherization #heartvalves #aorta #medicaldevice

The materials utilized in catheter-based components must possess the capability to endure the demanding conditions of medical utilization. The selection of metal is contingent on variables such as the catheter's operating environment, type, applied force, and pressure. Stainless steel, titanium, and nylon are preferred for their robustness and longevity. Stainless steel is suitable for medical applications because of its corrosion resistance, relatively lightweight, and strength. Titanium, surpassing stainless steel in strength, is utilized in components necessitating exceptional robustness and durability. Nylon, valued for its lightweight nature and strength, is frequently deployed in flexible and lightweight catheter components. Our catheter components involve many metal processing capabilities: ☑ Bonding ☑ Forming & Bending ☑ Laser Ablation ☑ Laser Cutting ☑ Laser Welding ☑ Machining ☑ Soldering Contact Us Today for a Quote! https://lnkd.in/gf3-9ZKF #medicaldevice #catheter #machining #bonding #forming #bending #contactus
