Essential components for success

Radiopaque marker bands for catheters serve asvisual indicators during fluoroscopy. Their primary role is to absorb X-rays, providing contrast against surrounding tissues and enabling real-time catheter positioning accuracy. This precision is critical in procedures where small errors can impact outcomes, such as avoiding vessel damage or ensuring proper stent placement techniques. The bands must balance X-ray visibility with catheter flexibility and biocompatibility of radiopaque materials to integrate seamlessly without affecting performance or patient safety.
