Microthreads

Microthreads are a type of thread that is much smaller in diameter than a human hair. They are used in various medical and scientific applications where very small objects need to be moved or manipulated.

Microthreads are made from various materials including stainless steel, titanium, and polymers. They can be either straight or coiled, and their diameters range from just a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers. Microthreads typically have a smooth surface, but they can also be textured or coated with other materials to modify their properties.

Applications for microthreads include:

-Surgical sutures
-Tissue engineering scaffolds
-Stents and stent grafts
-Drug delivery systems
-Orthopedic implants
-Wound closure devices
