supplies raw materials and finished components with tight tolerances and dimensional specifications for the demanding and rapidly changing medical market. Precision manufactured tungsten components and high density tungsten alloys are used in a variety of applications, from multi-leaf collimators and medical isotope production, transportation and containment to radiation shielding materials, syringe shielding, lead shielding replacement parts, and tumor treatment systems and instruments.
Multi-leaf Collimators
Our raw materials, tungsten alloys and finished components are used in a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic medical technologies. The high density alloys of the multi-leaf collimator are used to form the individual leaves that can independently move in and out of the path of the particle beam. This critical device guides the beam and focuses the radiation therapy into a precisely conforming shape to deliver the correct therapeutic dose to the patient. Multi-leaf collimators are widely used in radiology departments and are an integral part of radiation therapy.
Radiation and Lead Shielding Materials
The density and strength of tungsten alloys make them a top choice for radiation shielding applications. Edgetech’s tungsten alloys are used for this purpose in both medical and industrial settings. Their energy absorbing properties are an excellent choice for protecting sensitive electronic equipment as well as delicate human tissue. We provide X-ray targets and stationary anodes for a variety of X-ray applications. Our high performance materials are used worldwide to assemble X-ray tubes as well as precision X-ray technology. Tungsten alloys are used in source containers, gamma radiography, syringe shielding, oncology treatment systems and oncology instrumentation. Tungsten alloys provide unmatched strength, control and protection.
