Our laser-cut nitinol components and precious metal products are essential for advancing minimally invasive endovascular surgical techniques in vascular and peripheral vascular interventions, enabling safer and more efficient procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, embolization, and atherectomy that reduce recovery times, hospital stays, and complications compared to traditional invasive surgeries. We partner closely with customers from the early stages of product development to design innovative minimally invasive devices for treating conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD), carotid artery stenosis, renal artery occlusions, and varicose veins, fostering a paradigm shift toward less traumatic interventions that improve patient outcomes in interventional cardiology and vascular treatments. Our high-quality precious metal wire and radiopaque marker bands are integral to key devices such as embolization coils and tips, with nitinol applications in vascular catheterization including self-expanding stents for vessel patency and hypotubes for enhanced catheter flexibility and kink resistance, ensuring superior radiopacity, flexibility, and biocompatibility for precise navigation and deployment in coronary and peripheral artery applications.

Lighteum Medical’s precious metal components and nitinol products play a crucial role in minimally invasive endovascular surgical techniques. We collaborate with our customers on the development of their minimally invasive product and procedure designs, which result in a paradigm shift away from invasive surgical procedures with long post-operative hospitalisation.

Our precious metal wire and radiopaque markers are widely used in interventional neurology devices such as embolisation coils, guide wires and guide wire tips, vascular implants and mapping catheters.

Lighteum Medical is one of few manufacturers who can provide the thinnest nitinol sheets used in structural heart applications such as prosthetic heart valves. Also, our premium inner diameter nitinol tubes provide excellent mechanical control and precise delivery. Through our manufacturing expertise, Johnson Matthey has minimised costs by increasing yields. Our premium nitinol products are preferred by some of the major medical device and contract manufacturers for developing vascular implants and surgical devices.

In addition to manufacturing capabilities, our team of metallurgists work with our customers at every phase of the product development process to provide technical support and recommendations on the suitability and manufacturability of different alloy recipes and design tolerances.
