Tapes (Flat wires)

Developed "tungsten tape" that can be used in diverse fields
Compared to stainless steel, it has 3.5 times higher tensile strength and high heat resistance with a tungsten melting point of 3,380℃. The high specific gravity of the metal also makes it highly visible in X-ray transmission equipment. It is also available in ultra-thin and ultra-fine shapes. It can be used in various fields including reinforcing elements (blades) for medical microcatheters.

Applications Reinforcing elements for microcatheters, Springs, Microcoils, etc.
