Abstract
A method of making magnetically controllable devices for interventional medical procedures comprises the steps of: Manufacturing a medical device for interventional medical procedures having magnetic materials which are without permanent magnetization; and establishing permanent magnetization within the magnetic materials subsequent to manufacturing, wherein the permanent magnetization allows the medical device to be magnetically controllable. The method may further including the step of packaging and sterilizing the medical device, wherein establishing permanent magnetization occurs after packaging and sterilization. The establishing permanent magnetization within the magnetic materials may include providing different magnetic orientations to distinct portions of the magnetic materials. The magnetic material includes one of a platinum alloy or a palladium alloy.
