Nitinol | ASTM F 2063
– flexible, superelastic and biocompatible
Nitinol is a unique material. No other material
exhibits the mechanical shape memory
superelasticity and the thermal shape memory
effects.
Fields of applications are peripheral stents, cardio
stents and other medical devices for the human
body. We deliver tubes with the mechanical
properties, the requested tolerances and the
appropriate surface quality for stent use.
All our tubes are made according to customers
specifications.

Nitinol tubing for medical devices
Medical devices use requires high quality surface on
Nitinol tubing. The technology and tube making
processes developed by Vascotube have been
perfected over many years of practice. Using our
experience, combined with new technologies and
custom made machinery, we have been able to
develop a drawing process that avoids the need for
slurry cleaning, chemical cleaning or mechanical
removal operations on the inner surface of the
drawn tube. Our process allows us to attain a
roughness value of Ra 0,1µm.
In the last years we have pushed the feasibility of
dimensions to seize up to an outer diameter of 0.59
inches and down to 0.004 inches, thus achieving to
keep the high quality inner surface of our tubes.
Concentricity tolerances are up to 0,01mm
Wall tolerances as narrow as ± 0,0075mm
