FAQ:

Question: What is special about the core material of this Nitinol replacement core?

Answer:​ Our replacement core is made of Nitinol, an intelligent material featuring "superelasticity" and the "shape memory effect." In medical applications, this means it can be bent repeatedly over a large deformation range without undergoing plastic deformation, and it maintains excellent mechanical properties and flexibility at body temperature, unlike ordinary stainless steel which is rigid and prone to breaking.

Question: What is the role of the gold-plated base? Will it affect biocompatibility?

Answer:​ The gold-plated base is primarily used for electrical connection and corrosion protection. Gold is a chemically inert metal with extremely high corrosion resistance, ensuring connection reliability over long-term use. Additionally, the gold plating itself does not react with human tissue, so it not only does not reduce overall biocompatibility but actually enhances the safety level by preventing exposure of the base metal.

Question: In which specific medical devices or surgical scenarios is this product applicable?

Answer:​ Due to its slender and highly elastic characteristics, this replacement core is highly suitable for various minimally invasive interventional catheter systems (e.g., cardiovascular, neurointerventional catheters), biopsy forceps or sampling device accessories inside endoscopes, and electrophysiological mapping catheters requiring high flexibility. It is an ideal choice for replacing old or damaged core components.
