Introduction

SAES Memry Corporation has demonstrated worldwide leadership converting its nitinol wire, strip and tubing into a wide range of specialized components and products for the industries we service. SAES Memry assists its customers in the development and design of innovative devices accross a broad array of specialties.

Interventional Surgery

INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY, NEUROLOGY, RADIOLOGY, VASCULAR SURGERY PTCA and PTA catheters Distal protection devices Vascular closure devices Specialty guidewires Thrombectomy devices Atherectomy catheters RF ablation catheters Electrophysiology catheters Drug and stent delivery system Coil delivery catheters Anastomotic devices Implantable devices

Stents

STENTS Self expandable made from laser-cut tubing or formed wire Large expansion ratio Crush resistant Consistent radial force Etched or polished and passivated Flared or tapered

Micro Coils

MICRO-COILS Packaged and sterilized Embolization or occluding coils Macerating coils

Urology

UROLOGY, OB/GYN, GASTROENTEROLOGY Superelastic retrieval baskets and snares Straight or helical Multi-wire Highly flexible, kink and deformation resistant

Endo-Surgery

ENDO-SURGERY, FLEXIBLE ENDOSCOPY Superelastic components and assemblies to allow distal steering and deployment. Minimize instrument size to allow straight insertion in 5 through 10mm trocar ports. Articulating scissors, dissectors, retractors. Specimen retrieval bag.

Ortho/Endodontics

ORTHODONTICS ENDODONTICS Dental arches made from round, square or rectangular wires Low constant force add to patient comfort and eliminate re-tightening. Kink resistant endodontic files.

Orthopaedics

ORTHOPAEDICS Flexible Instrumentation or implants Flexible intermedullary canal reamers Bone staples Flexible arthroplasty, vertebroplasty, etc.

Formed Components

MISCELLANEOUS FORMED COMPONENTS Formed from wire, strip or tube 3-D complex shapes Superelastic or shape memory Joined, assembled Catheter forming mandrel

Assemblies

MISCELLANEOUS ASSEMBLIES Assembly with other device components Joined to plastics and other metals Crimped, laser welded, soldered

Martensitic Nitinol Probes

Martensitic Nitinol Probes Martensitic instruments used in conventional surgery to measure the inner diameter of all kinds of vessels. Main advantage is the pliability of the soft cone-shaped tip. The instrument is fully reuseable as it recovers shape during subsequent autoclaving.
