ASAHI INTECC Co., Ltd.

ACT ONE cable tubes possess a high maximum torque and high torque transmission compared to single-wire coils and polymer braided tubes. They also feature higher kink resistance and flexibility compared to hypo tubes. ACT ONE cable tubes are applied to a wide variety of minimally invasive and interventional devices within Cardiology, Peripheral, Neurology, Oncology, Orthopedics and Endoscopy.

The torque coil is a highly flexible coil consisting out of multiple layers with very fine wires. This makes the coil ideal for high speed rotation in very tortuous routings or anatomies. For applications where relatively high outer diameters (2-4 mm) need to be combined with both good torque transmission and high flexibility, Asahi Intecc’s torque coil would be a good solution. Depending on the required rotation directions, torque coil is provided in both 2-layer and 3-layer versions.

Asahi’s Hypotube incorporates two of our core technologies – wire drawing and torque transmission augmentation. It has excellent torque characteristics, kink resistance and shape recovery characteristics, well-suited for applications such as IVUS, FFR and iFR.

Asahi's inhouse-made Inner Tube is used as inside polymer coating for hypotubes and hollow cable tubes like ACT ONE. They are ideal for customers developing delivery systems with applications requiring lumen lubricity, sealing or chemical resistance.
