Tungsten for Medical & Imaging: Precision Components for Critical Care
Tungsten Parts Wyoming manufactures precision tungsten components for medical imaging and radiation therapy - powder-to-part in Laramie, Wyoming. At 17-18 g/cc, tungsten delivers superior radiation attenuation in a smaller physical footprint than lead or steel, with tighter geometries, reduced scatter, and more precise beam control.
What we make:
- Precision balls and calibration spheres (1.0mm to 127.0mm, 50+ catalog sizes)
- CT phantom calibration spheres, dosimetry markers, and imaging phantoms
- Radiation shielding: collimators, syringe shields, vial pigs, MLC inserts, and flat stock
- Custom components built to customer drawings
- Private-label OEM programs supported
ISO 9001:2015 · ASTM B777 · DFARS · ITAR. Certificate of Conformance on every order. Full lot traceability. Made in the USA.
Why Tungsten in Medical & Imaging
Why tungsten outperforms alternatives in medical imaging and radiation therapy:
- Uncompromising Density: Superior gamma and X-ray attenuation in less material volume than lead
- Exceptional Wear Resistance: Holds dimensional accuracy and surface finish across repeated use in imaging and calibration equipment
- Chemical Stability: Inert and corrosion-resistant, maintaining integrity in demanding clinical and laboratory environments
- Superior Heat Dissipation: Enables laser and imaging systems to run continuously without component failure
What TPW Makes for Medical & Imaging
Precision tungsten components, built to your specifications and delivered with full documentation:
- Radiation shielding: Collimators, syringe shields, PET blocks, and brachytherapy containers
- Diagnostic equipment: CT scanner components and imaging device elements
- Calibration & dosimetry: Precision tungsten spheres, CT phantom markers, and density references
- Custom imaging components: Machined tungsten parts built to your drawing with full documentation
Every TPW medical order ships with a Certificate of Conformance and full lot traceability documentation. Dimensional verification is standard, not optional. Direct coordination - no distributors, no intermediaries between your engineering team and ours. When tolerances tighten or finishing requirements need clarification, domestic manufacturing in Laramie, Wyoming means faster answers and faster turnaround. American-made tungsten is a program advantage, not a slogan: domestic production reduces supply chain risk, improves responsiveness, and simplifies accountability for your engineering and procurement teams.
