Precision in Every Micron: Platinum Markerbands and Wire — Solid & Split Options In Stock

High-Purity Platinum Components for Catheter and Guidewire Applications

In medical device manufacturing, every fraction of a millimeter matters. That’s why Glenn Enterprises partners with a precision precious metal manufacturer to supply solid and split platinum markerbands and wire engineered for the highest levels of consistency, visibility, and biocompatibility.

Our platinum components are trusted by catheter and guidewire manufacturers worldwide for their radiopacity, tight dimensional tolerances, and flawless surface finishes — enabling engineers to meet exacting performance standards in both R&D and full production environments.

Why Platinum Markerbands?

Platinum has long been the material of choice for markerbands because of its exceptional density and radiopacity, allowing devices to be clearly seen under fluoroscopy during medical procedures. Beyond visibility, platinum’s biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it ideal for long-term implantable and minimally invasive applications.

At Glenn Enterprises, our precision manufacturing partners use advanced micro-machining, polishing, and inspection techniques to ensure each band meets exact specifications — consistent geometry, clean edges, and superior surface integrity.

Solid vs. Split Markerbands: Understanding the Difference

• Solid Markerbands:

  Ideal for designs where continuous tube integrity is critical. Solid bands provide maximum strength, smooth edges, and consistent wall thickness for precision fit on shafts and tubing.

• Split Markerbands:

  Designed for flexibility and ease of assembly, split markerbands allow for simple placement over existing shafts or assemblies without reflow or welding operations. They are ideal for quick design changes or R&D prototyping.

Both types maintain tight concentricity and precision tolerances, ensuring dependable performance even in the smallest geometries.

From Prototype to Production

Whether you’re developing a new catheter design or optimizing an existing guidewire assembly, Glenn Enterprises provides the flexibility and responsiveness to support your production goals.

We understand that R&D runs often require quick-turn, small-volume orders, while production lines demand consistent supply and traceability. With components in stock and scalable manufacturing capacity, we ensure your project transitions smoothly from concept to commercialization.
