JCN Newswire
TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd. (Head Office:
Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koichiro
Tanaka), a company engaged in the industrial precious metals
business of TANAKA, announces the launch of its Visi Fine(R)
series, a group of highly radiopaque precious metal materials,
including platinum (Pt) alloy wire. The brand name Visi Fine(R) is
a coined term combining "Visi" (visible) and "Fine" (fine and
refined materials). The concept is to provide substances with
excellent X-ray impermeability, crafted into highly reliable
materials for medical device components using advanced processing
technology.
In recent years, the trend in medical settings has been toward
minimally invasive and non-invasive surgeries and treatments that
reduce the burden on patients and minimize wound size.
Catheterization devices and implantable medical devices used in
these surgeries and treatments (hereafter referred to as "medical
devices") must enable precise targeting of affected areas and
exhibit low reactivity with bodily tissues. Additionally,
visibility under X-ray imaging is an important factor in accurately
determining the position of a medical device within the body.
Precious metals such as gold and platinum, with their relatively
high specific gravity, excellent radiopacity, and strong resistance
to oxidation and corrosion, are widely used as materials for
components of medical devices.
Materials used for medical device components must be highly
reliable and require various processing techniques and material
customization tailored to the specific components to which they are
applied. TANAKA offers the Visi Fine(R) series, a group of highly
reliable materials that leverage the unique characteristics of
precious metals through the company's extensive expertise in
materials development and proprietary technologies, including
multiple melting technologies, ultra-fine wire processing, and
laser cutting, developed over many years.
TANAKA will showcase the Visi Fine(R) series for the first time at
"MD&M West 2025," a medical device trade show to be held in
Anaheim, California, USA, from February 4 to February 6, 2025.
As a leading company in industrial precious metal products, TANAKA
is committed to contributing to advancements in medical and
healthcare industry technologies.
