PRECIOUS METAL CLAD WIRE FORMULATED FOR AEROSPACE REQUIREMENTS
SHREWSBURY, Mass., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anomet Products has introduced custom composite clad metal wire products that combine properties such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal- and corrosion- resistance. Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire Products combine up to three materials to achieve properties such as oxidation- and corrosion-resistance, plus operation at cryogenic to 1200°C temperatures. Featuring 2% or more cladding thickness, these composite clad products are metallurgically bonded; making them much more reliable than plated products that can flake and peel and they are ideal for applications in harsh environments. Incorporating a gold, silver, palladium or platinum exterior layer, Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire Products' internal layers can include copper, Inconel®, Kovar®, nickel-iron, niobium, Nitinol®, molybdenum, stainless steel, tantalum, and titanium. Wire is offered in sizes from 0.004" to 0.060" O.D. with claddings from 14% to 38% by weight, and 4.5 to 55 microns, depending upon dia. and the ribbon can be up to 1" wide. Anomet Precious Metal Clad Wire Products are priced typically 10X less expensive than solid precious metal products. For more information contact: Anomet ProductsRobert F.

Angioplasty and stenting are here to stay, says expert cardiologist
Y. Vijayachandra Reddy, senior consultant interventional cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, said that the decision to treat heart blocks needs to be individualised for each patient, but the 'golden era of advanced angioplasty and stenting', is here to stay. Addressing a media conference here on Saturday, he said that the mode of treatment required, be it simple medication, coronary angioplasty or bypass surgery, would depend on the situation, taking into account the procedural risks, safety concerns, immediate and long term outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. 'However, currently the available stents are thin strut drug eluting stents (DES) that release special drug into the area of treatment, reducing the chance of reoccurrence of the blocks. Special guide wires and specialty microcatheters that help in crossing totally blocked and tough old blocks have increased their procedural success to more than 95 per cent,' Dr. Reddy explained. The senior interventional cardiologist also pointed out the use of special balloons to treat the blocks, including very thin 0.75 mm tapered tip balloons to make way through even the toughest blocks, high and ultra-high pressure balloons, cutting balloons with special stainless steel micro blades, and scoring balloons that have Nitinol to crack hard lesions. 'We also have drug-coated balloons (DCB) to treat blocks which do not need stents to be placed,' he added.
