Marker Bands

Non-Ferrous Crucible Inc. is a global provider of marker bands (radiopaque markers) for the medical device manufacturing industry. We provide marker bands with platinum-iridium alloy (Pt90/Ir10), gold, and tantalum.
A radiopaque marker band is a marker ring used as an X-ray or ultrasound imaging marker for the distal working area in interventional therapy, and it is a disposable medical material.

Platinum-iridium radiopaque markers

The performance requirements for this purpose of the material itself are biocompatibility and radiopaque, high precision is also required. Common applications include radiopaque marking, ring electrodes, cardiac rhythm management devices, stents, and angioplasty. It is suitable for radiopaque markers during angioplasty and other minimally invasive catheter procedures.

Our marker bands are manufactured in platinum iridium alloy (Pt90/Ir10), gold, and pure tantalum. They are cut into lengths, down to 0.25mm according to clients’ demands. Different technologies are engaged during processing (drawing, cutting, surface treatment) to guarantee high precision and a burr-free finish. Common applications for marker bands include radiopaque marking, ring electrodes, cardiac rhythm management devices, stents, and angioplasty.

Tantalum Radiopaque Markers

While pure platinum is too soft to cut into small pieces as marker bands, platinum-iridium (Pt90/Ir10) suits this.

Our advantages of electrode rings, markers:
-Great quality
-Short lead time
-Stable supply
-Good service
