Micro Nitinol Technology GmbH Nitinol Excellence for Medical Innovation

Laser cutting is often the first step but a decisive factor in the final quality of the component. We offer the latest laser technology with minimal HAZ (heat affected zone) and minimal surface roughness. 

• Precision laser cutting of tubes up to Ø 30 mm for components with very complex geometries
• Precision flat laser cutting
• Very small cut widths (as small as 15 microns)
• Cutting of different materials possible

Microblasting deburrs, cleans, rounds edges and produces a uniform surface texture. With a strong experience, different machines and variety of blasting materials, we optimize the subsequent process steps to a perfect final component.

We offer high-quality electro polishing as a specialized service for medical technology manufacturers and laboratories. 

• Electro polishing - your solution for enhanced corrosion resistance, improved biocompatibility, and a clean, bright appearance ideal for medical applications.

We offer high-quality galvanic coating as a specialized service for medical technology manufacturers and laboratories. There are various reasons for electroplating components. Nitinol’s naturally low X-ray visibility can be significantly enhanced through precision gold electroplating. This coating not only improves radiopacity for better imaging but also increases electrical conductivity. Making it ideal for advanced medical applications.

• Improving X-ray visibility
• Improvement electrical conductivity
• Improvement joining ability
• Optimization of the surface hardness
• Improvement of the appearance
• Improvement of corrosion resistance
• Improvement of wear protection

Shape setting and annealing are the core processes in the manufacturing of Nitinol. We have many years of experience in the development and manufacture of shape setting tools, which enables us to produce components with highly complex geometries. In addition to precise manufacturing, the choice of material for the shaping tools plays a decisive role. Through the annealing process, the mechanical properties of the component can be specifically adjusted and optimized according to the subsequent application. We offer precise shape setting of Nitinol components as a specialized service for medical technology manufacturers and laboratories. 

• Development and production of shape setting tools
• Shape settings tools for highly complex components
• Optimization of the mechanical properties 

Chemical treatment is a prerequisite for an optimum result in many production steps. For this purpose, the surface of the component is cleaned, pickled or the texture is pre-treated accordingly so that the subsequent production steps deliver the optimum result

• Chemical cleaning
• Pickling
• Surface activation

We offer simulation and testing as a specialized service for medical technology manufacturers and laboratories.
