Tubes are available in:
Based on the worldwide proven standards of excellence for strength, superelasticity, formability, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility as our standard Nitinol material for implants, Nitinol HCF-SE is a consequent evolution. It allows to design next generation improved generation components, which will become smaller and more sophisticated in size and fields of application. A more than 10 times higher fatigue life has been reported. This makes the material the first choice for high-cycle fatigue devices like heart-valve frames and spine implants.

LASER PROCESSING
EUROFLEX offers laser cutting as an additional option in the area of medical components. With this process, metal products can be cut to precise, customer-specific designs, including complex geometries and shapes.
Labeling and inscribing of components can be realized using precise laser markings.
Welding technologies such as laser beam welding provide an effective connection between materials from different components and the closing of tube ends.
Materials:
• Nitinol
• Cobalt-Based-Alloys (L605, MP35N)
• Stainless Steel (316LVM, 316Ti, 316L, 304, 304L, 321, 17-7 PH)

EUROFLEX CONTINUOUSLY ELECTRO-POLISHED NITINOL WIRES FOR OPTIMAL SURFACE FINISH
At EUROFLEX, we are able to refine the surface of our products using various refinement technologies, including electro-polishing.
Our electro-polished wires show maximum surface quality resulting in:
- High corrosion resistance
- High biocompatibility
- High fatigue resistance
- Bright, smooth surface
The wire surface is smoothened and cleaned via electrochemical ablation using our reel-to-reel state-of-the-art electro-polishing process.
With the in-house designed continuous electro-polishing process the wires automatically result in low through-put times and thus are a cost-effective alternative to e-polishing processes based on piece goods.
This process makes our Nitinol wires the go-to material for medical devices which require especially smooth and clean surfaces!
Possible applications of our electro-polished Nitinol wires are:
- Neurovascular applications
- orthopedic devices
- braided stents
