Ultra-Thin Nitinol Memory Wire Hypotube for Medical Devices – 0.1mm OD, 0.05mm Wall

Built for Precision. Designed for Innovation.

Introducing our Nitinol Memory Wire Hypotube, engineered with an ultra-thin 0.1mm outer diameter and a 0.05mm wall thickness. This advanced hypotube is crafted from medical-grade nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol), offering unmatched flexibility, kink resistance, and shape recovery. Ideal for next-generation medical devices, it enables highly precise and minimally invasive procedures.

Premium Material: Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy

This hypotube is crafted from Nitinol—an advanced memory wire alloy celebrated for its exceptional super-elasticity and reliable shape memory properties.It can flex, twist, and undergo extreme deformation—yet always returns to its original shape. With superior biocompatibility and excellent corrosion resistance, it performs safely and reliably inside the human body.

Key Applications

• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Designed for use in ultra-flexible guidewires, micro-catheters, and neurovascular applications where smooth navigation is critical.

• Endoscopic Instruments
  Powers highly flexible tools to navigate intricate anatomy during endoscopic interventions.

• Implant Delivery Systems
  Provides a reliable conduit for stents, embolic coils, and precision placement of other implants.

• Steerable Diagnostic Probes
  Offers the maneuverability needed to reach small, delicate anatomical targets.

• Microfluidics & Lab-on-Chip
  Functions as a resilient channel in compact fluidic systems demanding flexibility.

What Sets Nitinol Apart?

Unlike stainless steel, which bends permanently, Nitinol memory wire flexes deeply and springs back fully. Compared to platinum alloys, it’s lighter, more flexible, and cost-effective. Titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, but it falls short when flexibility is key—something Nitinol excels at.Even fatigue-resistant metals like Elgiloy or MP35N cannot match Nitinol’s unique shape memory and super-elasticity—qualities essential for advanced medical designs.

Addressing Nitinol’s Challenges

Processing Nitinol hypotubes—especially at 0.05mm wall thickness—requires expert control over temperature, timing, and heat treatment. Achieving precise shape memory and smooth, safe surfaces involves advanced manufacturing and strict quality protocols. While the cost of Nitinol memory wire is higher than traditional metals, its performance benefits in critical medical applications more than justify the investment.

MRI Compatibility

Is Nitinol safe for MRI? Yes. Because Nitinol is non-ferromagnetic, it remains unaffected by MRI scanners and does not disrupt imaging.It creates minimal image distortion, allowing for clear imaging during or after procedures. This makes it a top choice for implantable or MRI-guided tools.
