Ultra-Thin Nitinol Hypotube: Micro Precision for Medical Device Innovation

Unlock the next frontier in minimally invasive medicine with our Nitinol Hypotube for Medical Devices. This ultra-thin tube — with a 0.1mm outer diameter (OD) and 0.05mm wall thickness — is engineered to meet the extreme demands of modern micro-scale medical devices. Think thinner than human hair, yet stronger and more flexible than steel.

High-Performance Material: Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)

Our hypotube is crafted from premium Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy, a special blend of Nickel and Titanium. This smart material “remembers” its original shape and regains it instantly when heated.

Miniaturization Ready: Engineered for Micro-Scale Demands

• Standard Size: OD 0.1 mm / Wall Thickness 0.05 mm

• Custom Sizes: Tailored diameters and wall thicknesses available

• Surface Finishes: As-drawn, polished, etched, and more

Our advanced manufacturing processes ensure dimensional accuracy and consistent mechanical performance across the smallest geometries.
