SUS304 Snake Bone Thread Rings – Precision Attachment Rings for Endoscope Articulation Control
The SUS304 Snake Bone Thread Rings are specialized components designed for the assembly and maintenance of flexible endoscope articulation sections. These rings, crafted from medical-grade SUS304 stainless steel, serve as secure attachment points for control threads (wires) that enable precise bending and maneuverability in the snake bone structure. Utilizing advanced laser micromachining, they ensure smooth integration, high durability, and minimal tissue interaction, making them essential for reliable performance in endoscopic procedures without compromising safety or functionality.
Key Features:
- Precision Machining: Achieves seam widths of 15-30μm and accuracy of ≤±10μm for seamless assembly and burr-free surfaces.
- Secure Thread Attachment: Designed specifically for fastening control wires, providing stable articulation in endoscope snake bones.
- Biocompatibility: Hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant, suitable for medical environments with direct or indirect tissue contact.
- Durability: High tensile strength and fatigue resistance, ideal for repeated flexing in demanding endoscopic applications.
- Versatile Compatibility: Adaptable to various endoscope models, supporting dry or wet machining methods during production.
- Efficient Integration: Facilitates easy threading and attachment, enhancing overall endoscope assembly efficiency.
Certification and Standards:
The SUS304 Snake Bone Thread Rings comply with ISO 13485 quality management standards for medical devices and adhere to biocompatibility requirements under ISO 10993. They meet rigorous performance benchmarks for endoscopic components, ensuring safety and reliability in clinical and manufacturing applications.
