Lumenous Device Technologies, Sunnyvale, Calif., introduces a unique method to improve and enable new devices using locally differentiated heat treatment of Nitinol. The company has developed a technology that enables different areas on Nitinol components to be treated in different ways. The locally differentiated heat treatment enables engineers to reduce the total part count in assemblies, and eliminate joining processes – all of which can lead to higher reliability, better performance, and lower cost.
Lumenous continues to pioneer ultraprecision medical components, producing a wide variety of minimally invasive medical devices, including vascular, general surgery, ophthalmology, and orthopedic products.
The company’s expertise supports all phases of product development with ISO13485-certified laser micromachining, microwelding, electropolishing, nitinol wire drawing, precision assembly, and design engineering for components such as stents, heart valve frames, and flexible hypotubes .
