Assembly method

Key Evaluation Matrix

Metric	Typical Range	Why It Matters
Dimensional fit	+/- 0.01 mm drawing-driven review	Prevents slippage or cracking.
Material choices	Pt-Ir, tantalum, gold, custom radiopaque alloy	Balances fluoroscopic visibility, wall thickness, and cost.
Wall thickness	Thin-wall micro ring feasibility review	Controls catheter profile while preserving marker visibility.

Buyer Decision Points Before RFQ

Decision Factor	Confirm Before Quote	Buyer Impact
Radiopacity target	Pt-Ir, tantalum, gold, or custom alloy with expected fluoroscopic visibility.	Balances imaging contrast, wall thickness, cost, and crimping behavior before ordering.
Fit and retention	ID/OD/wall/length tolerance, shaft OD, crimp method, and pull-off expectation.	Reduces slippage, cracking, and profile growth in balloon or stent delivery assemblies.
Cut edge finish	Chamfer, burr limit, edge radius, and visual inspection requirement.	Protects the catheter surface and downstream yield during marker-band assembly.

Risk Controls

Edge damage during assembly: Define chamfer and deburr requirements.
Band slippage or profile growth: Match band ID, wall, length, shaft OD, crimp method, and pull-off expectation before ordering.

Manufacturing and Release Flow

Material selection: Compare radiopacity, strength, malleability, and cost for Pt-Ir, tantalum, gold, or alternatives.
Micro ring cutting: Cut marker bands to controlled length, wall, and diameter for catheter fit.
Edge conditioning: Deburr, chamfer, clean, and inspect edges to protect assembly surfaces.
Lot release: Ship with material record, dimensional report, and packaging suited for micro components.

Quality Evidence Buyers Can Request

Material and alloy confirmation for radiopaque bands
ID/OD/wall/length dimensional inspection
Burr-free edge and chamfer visual check
Packaging and lot traceability for small precision rings

Buyer FAQ

Which material?

Pt/Ir or Gold depending on radiopacity needs.

What dimensions matter most for marker bands?

ID, OD, wall thickness, length, chamfer, edge condition, and shaft OD are the key dimensions for fit, visibility, and retention.
