Tantalum Marker Bands Description
Tantalum Marker Bands are marking rings made of tantalum that are commonly used in the medical device field. These marker rings are usually applied to specific locations on medical devices such as catheters or implants to provide visual marking. Due to Tantalum's biocompatibility, high density and X-ray transparency, Tantalum Marker Bands have become a common choice in the medical industry, especially in radiological and interventional procedures. They help doctors and healthcare professionals pinpoint and track specific areas to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment. Marker bands are made by cutting small tubing (tantalum & platinum-iridium capillary) which can be used as radiopaque markers during angioplasty and other minimally-invasive catheter procedures.

FAQs
1 Why are Tantalum Marker Bands preferred in medical applications? Tantalum is radiopaque, meaning it shows up clearly on X-ray and MRI images. This makes Tantalum Marker Bands ideal for use in medical devices where precise placement and tracking are critical, such as in implantable devices, stents, and catheters.
2 What sizes do Tantalum Marker Bands come in? Tantalum Marker Bands are available in various sizes and can be custom-made to meet specific requirements. These sizes depend on the diameter of the device they will be used on, such as catheters, tubes, or surgical instruments.
3 How are Tantalum Marker Bands attached to medical devices? Tantalum Marker Bands can be attached to medical devices through various methods, such as crimping, welding, or adhesive bonding, depending on the application and the design of the device.
