Platinum-Iridium alloys have the chemical stability of platinum with increased hardness due to the addition of iridium. Platinum-iridium alloys are ductile, malleable and versatile in their manufacturing capabilities.
Medical device manufactures use platinum-iridium alloys in cardiac rhythm management devices, catheters and stents, neuromodulation devices, and other medical devices.
