6.8mm Stainless Steel Tube – Precision Tube for Medical Endoscopy Applications
The 6.8mm Stainless Steel Tube is a high-precision tube designed for medical endoscopy and catheter systems. Crafted from medical-grade SUS304 stainless steel, this tube offers exceptional strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility, ideal for minimally invasive procedures requiring durable, smooth conduits. Produced using advanced laser micromachining, it ensures burr-free surfaces and precise dimensions, facilitating seamless integration into medical devices while maintaining corrosion resistance and sterility.
Key Features:
- High Precision: Achieves cutting seam widths of 15–30μm and accuracy of ≤±10μm for burr-free, smooth surfaces.
- Superior Durability: Provides high tensile strength and corrosion resistance for reliable performance in physiological environments.
- Biocompatibility: Hypoallergenic material minimizes tissue reaction, suitable for direct contact in sensitive applications.
- Flexibility: Variable bending without kinking, enhancing maneuverability in endoscopic tools.
- Efficient Integration: Compatible with various clamping systems and cutting methods for rapid assembly.
- Sterility Maintenance: Smooth finish reduces contamination risks and supports sterilization processes.
Certification and Standards:
The 6.8mm Stainless Steel Tube complies with ISO 13485 quality management standards for medical devices and adheres to biocompatibility requirements under ISO 10993.
Stainless Steel SUS304:
Medical-grade SUS304 stainless steel (austenitic chromium-nickel alloy), offering excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
- Biocompatibility: Low risk of allergic reactions or toxicity, ideal for direct tissue contact in medical procedures.
- Mechanical Properties: High tensile strength (approximately 505 MPa) and elongation (up to 40%), providing flexibility without brittleness.
- Surface Finish: Laser-machined for smooth, burr-free edges, reducing the potential for tissue trauma or contamination.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity across a wide temperature range, suitable for sterilization processes like autoclaving.
Nickel-Titanium alloy:
Nitinol (NiTi), a nickel-titanium alloy, is renowned for its superelasticity and shape memory, making it a game-changer in medical applications. With a tensile strength of up to 1200 MPa and elastic modulus of 40–75 GPa, nitinol excels in demanding environments.
Cobalt-chrome alloy:
Cobalt-chrome (CoCr), an alloy of cobalt and chromium often enhanced with molybdenum, is prized for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. With tensile strength ranging from 800–1500 MPa and hardness of 300–550 HV, CoCr is a cornerstone in medical technology. Popular grades like L605 (Co-Cr-W-Ni) and MP35N (Co-Cr-Ni-Mo) elevate its performance.
