Overmolding of radiopaque marker bands
Precision Tool and Die offers overmolding of radiopaque marker bands. The thin]walled metal tubes can be placed at strategic locations on a catheter for visibility under an x-ray fluoroscope. The bands are typically made from a high density metal such as platinum, gold, or tantalum. Over molding the marker band enables a reduction of overall assembly cost and precision location of the band. In addition, the marker band is completely sealed from the environment. With wall thicknesses of 0.005in., multicavity tooling is available if required.
