Mi-Tech Metals provides both raw materials and finished components with tight tolerances and dimensional specifications to the demanding and rapidly changing medical market. Precision-made tungsten parts and high-density tungsten alloys are used in a variety of applications, from multi-leaf collimators and medical isotope production, transport and containment to radiation shielding materials, syringe shields, lead shielding replacement parts, and oncology treatment systems and instruments.
Multileaf Collimators
Our raw materials, tungsten alloys and finished component parts are used in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic medical technologies. High-density alloys for multileaf collimators are used to comprise the individual leaves, which can move independently in and out of the path of a particle beam. This crucial device directs a beam and focuses radiotherapy treatment to precisely conformed shapes, delivering correct therapy doses to patients. Multileaf collimators are widely used in radiology departments and are an integral part of radiotherapy.
Radiation and Lead Shielding Materials
The density and strength of tungsten alloys make them the first choice for radiation shielding applications. Mi-Tech Metals' tungsten alloys are used in this capacity in both medical and industrial settings. Their energy-absorbing qualities are excellent choices to protect sensitive electronic equipment, as well as delicate human tissue. We deliver X-ray target and stationary anodes for a variety of X-ray applications. And our high-performance materials are used worldwide for the assembly of X-ray tubes, as well as precise X-ray technology. Tungsten alloys are used for radioactive source containers, gamma radiography, syringe shields, oncology treatment systems and oncology instruments. Tungsten alloys provide unsurpassed strength, control and protection.
