OUR BRAIDING CAPABILITIES ALLOW YOU TO CREATE UNIQUE, COMPLEX, VARIED STRUCTURES.
WIRE TECHNOLOGY.
Our comprehensive selection of wire technologies helps our customers meet the widest array of medical applications. Capabilities include wire processing, forming, braiding and winding, as well as surface treatments that enhance biocompatibility and durability.
We work with you closely to achieve the best possible results, whether that requires conventional wire technology, any of our many patented and proprietary approaches, or something entirely new. Our broad array of wire technology capabilities includes the following:
Wire braiding
Interweaving or twining wire for conventional, flexible, closed-loop and single-wire braiding.
Wire Winding
Fully automated, tension controlled process that produces high-quality and uniform dimensions, characteristics and surface finish in three dimensional structures.
Wire forming
Two- and three-dimensional shapes and unique structures in a wide range of wire diameters and types.
