Device for Manufacturing Intravascular Probes

技术优势
-Rapid bonding process requiring approximately 40 seconds -A readily biocompatible process that does not involve the use of abrasive or toxic chemical -Low-cost with respect to other expensive high power laser welding methods
技术应用
Precise press fit joining of two miniature concentric cylindrical geometriesManufacturing of miniature side viewing rotational probes used for intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, or fluorescence imaging.
详细技术说明
Within the realm of rotated endoscopic imaging probes, it is essential to ensure that probe sub-assemblies are precisely and reproducibly joined together to insure even circular rotation. Currently, imaging probe sub-components are bonded together using imprecise, toxic and expensive methods such as lead based soldering and laser welding. There exists a manufacturing need to precisely and reproducibly join miniature imaging probe subassemblies in a low-cost and efficient manner. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a precise, operationally simple and low cost means of press-fitting imaging probe sub-components together. The developed technology accurately joins two cylindrical imaging probe sub-assemblies to insure bond symmetry and downstream even circular rotation. By utilizing such a press fitting method, endoscopic rotational imaging probes will be subjected to less non-uniform rotational distortion and improve the probe’s imaging capability.
