ISPG offers a wide range of Other Treatments including Finish Treatments such as:
- A chemical polish to brighten and smooth the cannula surface
- An electro-chemical etching to sharpen cannulae and remove burrs
- Passivation to ensure that cannulae remain free of corrosion
- A mirror finish can be specified to most I.D. finishes for optimal smoothness
- Vary hardness to suit your application
Echogenic Tip is an operation that will allow the cannula to appear with greater contrast under ultrasonic imaging. There are different methods and application types of echogenic tips. Please contact ISPG for more information.
Mechanical Echogenic Tips are manufactured to create a surface area change in a variety of formats by grinding, lathe or pressing.
Laser Echogenic Tips are created with a laser in a variety of application styles including etching, depressions, bands or calibrated markings to improve visibility under ultrasound.
Etch Marks is a process that can mark the surface of cannula. The etch mark location and visual appearance can be specified.
Depth Marks can be added to cannula to show the depth of insertion. The depth mark location and number of marks can be specified.
Notched Stylets can be cut in such a way as to facilitate insertion through a curved area or to create a cutting surface.
Bent Shaft is tubing which is bent to customer specific requirements. The bend angle is specified. Hardness of the tube can also be specified.
Coiled tubing or cannulae can be coiled for both medical and non-medical applications. Coils are sometimes used to chill liquids. The amount of coil can be specified.
Bumps or Indents tubing can be squeezed in the midsection indenting the surface to create a bump or indent. Additional material can also be welded on the shaft to create a raised surface.
PTFE Coating is used to improve penetration and chemical resistance. Coating is available in black, white, or green.
