Integer’s high-performance cables and sutures redefine control, strength, and flexibility in next-gen robotic and catheter based systems. These biostable cables and sutures deliver the strength of metal with the flexibility required for tortuous path navigation. With minimal elongation, they ensure reliable, precise actuation where control and responsiveness are critical.
- A high-tensile, flexible, biocompatible polymer delivers 30 to 400 Newtons of strength across configurations, rivaling metal’s performance without the added weight.
- With minimal elongation, this material exhibits only 1–3% stretch under load, ensuring precise one-to-one actuation with no slip or lag.
- Excellent lubricity and naturally low friction enable smooth movement through tortuous anatomical paths.
- Biocompatibility ensures stable performance and alleviates concerns about metal leaching or formaldehyde-based additives.
- Low profile and high flexibility allow compact geometry that supports tight device designs and robotic applications without compromising strength or control.
