- 🔹 USN® wire for increased column stiffness and buckling resistance
- 🔹 Silk® Nitinol for an ultra-smooth, oxide-free surface
- 🔹 Helical Turkshead Nitinol for applications requiring torque and control
- 🔹Niti #7 for substantially higher strength
Most recently, we introduced Altus™ Nitinol, a high-fatigue material with improved cleanliness designed for neurovascular stents and other high-cycle applications.
