Our flat wire capabilities support:

·      Tight dimensional tolerances

·      Our tightest tolerance currently is 5% of thickness and width, thickness +/- 0.0050 mm [0.0002 in] and width +/-0.0003 mm [0.0076 in], whichever is greater.

·      Thin, space-saving designs

·      Consistent mechanical properties

Available in a wide variety of materials, including stainless steel, Nitinol, titanium, and high-performance alloys, flat wire can be more useful than round wire, depending on the application. Its rectangular shape reduces height and eliminates wasted gaps, helping components fit more efficiently into tight spaces without sacrificing performance.

Flat wire can improve packing density, size tolerances, and dimensional consistency where every fraction of a millimeter matters.

Typical end uses for our flat wire:

·      Percutaneous catheters

·      Neurovascular devices

·      Endovascular devices

·      Expanding stents and delivery systems

·      Coronary stents

·      Stone retrieval baskets

·      Catheter-based heart pumps

·      Orthodontic clips

·      Suture passers

When applications demand precision in a smaller footprint, flat wire opens the door to new possibilities.
