You r dreams. Wove n togeth e r. /A /\S/\HI INTECC Datasheet : Hollow cable : TQ hypo Asahi's Hypotube incorporates two core technologies - wire drawing and torque transmission augmentation. Ideal for a medical application that requires excellent compression resistance, kink resistance, shape recovery characteristics, and remarkable 1 to 1 torque characteristics. Typical applications are endoscopic fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and other minimally invasive devices used in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Legend 5 = Highest applicability 1 = Lowest applicability (following page for technical information I)

Datasheet : Hollow cable : TQ hypo Comparison of mechanical property 1. Shape recovery characteristics Asahi’s Torque Hypotube is less expensive than Nitinol. Also, it’s not complicated to weld to other stainless material, makes it easy to design a catheter system Standard Asahi Torque Nitinol Hypotube Hypotube Hypotube combining different properties of stainless tubing. *Relative percentage difference of maximum curvature without bending tendency, using same size as each one. Asahi’s wire drawing technologies make it superior to others. Kink resistance is also better as well as Hoop strength....
