How does microscopy protect cardiovascular health?
In biomedical applications, the surface microstructure of cardiovascular intervention devices can be used to improve the material host response mechanism. Some morphological factors, such as size, shape, and geometric arrangement, have a significant impact on cell adhesion, migration, arrangement, and differentiation. Therefore, surface morphology research and roughness control of cardiovascular intervention devices are essential tasks. The OLS5100 laser confocal microscope can analyze the microstructure of instrument surfaces and perform roughness measurements that comply with the ISO25178 international standard.
Appearance defect inspection and size measurement
The manufacturing of cardiovascular intervention devices is an art that involves specialized knowledge in many fields. In terms of usage characteristics and safety, it must be thoroughly studied and meet extremely demanding conditions. For example, cardiovascular stents require rigorous quality inspections at every processing step, from material selection, laser engraving, heat treatment, sandblasting to polishing, to ensure consistent rib width, no burrs or cracks, and a smooth surface to meet the requirements of surgical and medical applications. The DSX1000 digital microscope can provide multiple solutions from macro to micro, as well as guaranteed accuracy and precision, ensuring reliable observation results.
Faster and more efficient assembly and inspection
Considering the unique and complex product characteristics, cardiovascular intervention devices are typically assembled and inspected manually using a microscope. Due to the variety and low yield of products, operators need to frequently switch work programs under the microscope and repeatedly remove their gaze from the eyepiece to view the instructions, resulting in errors during the assembly process. The SZX-AR1 augmented reality microscope projects guidance instructions as digital information (in the form of text, images, videos, etc.) into the microscope's field of view, perfectly overcoming these challenges, and operators only need to focus on their work.
As a world-renowned manufacturer of optical microscopes, Evident can provide a range of industrial microscope solutions from the development to production of cardiovascular intervention devices, which not only promotes the research and development work of researchers, but also improves the work efficiency of production line operators. It is believed that in the future, EVENT will bring more excellent testing products to the medical device field, help China's vigorous development in this field, and escort the health of countrymen people.
