Understanding round wire
Round wire starts at a larger diameter and is expertly drawn down to customer specifications, all the way to ultra fine diameters smaller than a human hair. It comes in standard stainless steel, Nitinol, titanium, and other high-performance alloys that are customized to serve almost any application.
Typical end uses
Round wire can be used on its own, or as a component in strands, cables, mechanical assemblies, or other constructions that contribute to end uses such as:
- Articulation devices
- Endoscopic devices
- Minimally invasive surgical instruments
- Pacing leads
Design specifications
The first step to creating custom round wire is choosing the right material. Click the links below to learn more about the benefits offered by our wide selection of alloys.
- High-performance alloys for fatigue life, strength, and corrosion resistance
- Nitinol for shape memory and superelastic performance
- Stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance
- Titanium for strength and biocompatibility
Size range
Round wire can be manufactured in diameters ranging from 0.0127mm to 13.97 mm [0.0005 in to 0.550 in].
