Pacemakers, defibrillators and other medical electronic implants require small leads to provide the necessary therapeutic shock to a precise location in the patient. Over time, these leads will become embedded in the patient’s tissue and cannot be removed easily. To enable medical devices to be exchanged or repaired without disturbing the leads, a high-performance, electrical connector is required.
Alloys
MP35N® strip is the perfect solution for this critical application: it is corrosion resistant, strong, high-spring, biocompatible, and FDA approved for human implant use.
We can provide high-quality MP35N® strip that meets FDA and ASTM medical specifications. Our world-class metallurgist and production teams then process this strip down to the exacting requirements of our medical connector customers.
Sizes
Precision strip engineered from 1.5mm (0.060”) down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) in thickness.
