Size ranges
Available in diameters from 0.228 mm to 0.762 mm [0.009 in to 0.030 in] on spools containing up to 2,438 m [8,000 ft] of wire.
In applications where the gradual bend of wire causes less than 1.5% strain, and only enters into the modulus region of the stress-strain curve, USN® wire exhibits increased stiffness when compared to our standard straight annealed Nitinol. Guidewire made from USN® wire that is straight will exhibit greater resistance to initial bend than standard Nitinol of the same grade and diameter.
