CABLE WITH WIRES FORMED OF A BETA TITANIUM ALLOY FOR A MEDICAL DEVICE

摘要

Techniques are disclosed related to cables that may be used within a medical device. According to one example, a cable may comprise multiple wires (200). Each wire may be formed of a biocompatible beta titanium alloy having an elastic modulus ranging from 30 GigaPascals (GPa) to 90 GPa and comprising at least two elements selected from a group of titanium, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, zirconium, chromium, iron and tin. The cable may be heated (206) to a stress - relieve temperature of the beta titanium alloy to allow the cable to retain a desired configuration while remaining ductile. The cable may be included within a medical device, such as a medical electrical lead.
