The present invention relates to a medical Pt
alloy comprising a Pt
alloy containing a
metal M. In the Pt
alloy according to the present invention, the
metal M contains at least one of 6-11 at% of Ti, 3.5-9 at% of Zr, 5-11 at% of Nb, 6-16 at% of Mo, 4-9 at% of Hf, and 5-10 at% of Ta. The Pt alloy comprises the
metal M with a total content of 3.5-18 at%, with the balance being Pt and inevitable impurities. The medical Pt alloy of the present invention has
biocompatibility and X-
ray visibility and also has good mechanical properties and workability. The medical Pt alloy of the present invention is formed into a medical member in the form of a Pt alloy
wire rod or another form and then applied to medical devices such as
embolization coils,
guide wires, stents, and catheters.
