Technical Webinar Series

High-Performance Materials for

Interventional Precision Devices

 

Join Fort Wayne Metals for a technical webinar on interventional precision solutions for next-generation medical devices. We'll tackle common challenges around integrating materials and explore how advanced material strategies can improve reliability, performance, and usability. This session is designed to give engineers and device designers practical insights they can apply directly to their work.

This is the fourth of a six-part educational series and will focus on interventional precision solutions.

Agenda

 

Mechanical Properties

  • Dive into the role of high-strength materials and their conditions in interventional devices such as catheters and guidewires.
  • We'll highlight how tensile strength, ductility, and property alignment directly impact performance, reliability, and patient outcomes.


Material Selection

  • Explore proven strategies for choosing the best materials for your project. 
  • We'll cover trade-offs between melt modalities, cost considerations, and mechanical performance. We'll discuss tips on how to balance mechanical and physical properties for optimal device design.


HHS® Tube Benefits

  • Examine how our patented HHS® tube enhances device performance through torque transmission, flexibility, all with an open working channel.
  • Learn how these properties translate into improved maneuverability and push ability.
