Wire
An extensive selection of conductor materials and constructions for medical electrical applications. Select a material category below.
Very high conductivity, good tensile strength, high elongation, excellent windability, and good weldability and solderability. Copper conductors are the workhorse material for fine medical wire applications requiring maximum electrical performance.
Higher tensile strength than standard copper, good elongation, high flex life, high conductivity, weldable and solderable. Alloy conductors are well suited where mechanical durability is required alongside good electrical properties.
Clad metals combine different materials to achieve advantages such as weight reduction, elevated conductivity, increased tensile strength, and good weldability and solderability — for example copper-clad aluminium or copper-clad steel.
Stainless steel conductors offer durability and exceptional corrosion resistance, making them well suited to the demanding conditions and sterilization processes typical of medical environments.
Silver and gold conductors for special-purpose applications requiring biocompatibility, superior conductivity, or resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
Thermocouple wires for temperature-sensing applications within medical devices, available in standard type combinations and fine gauges suitable for miniaturised medical instrumentation.
Parallel-bonded magnet wire provides more consistent capacitance and impedance characteristics. Twisted wiring minimises electromagnetic radiation and enhances resistance to external interference — important in sensitive medical signal environments.
Insulation maintains electrical integrity and safety within medical devices. It also provides thermal properties, chemical resistance, and radiation resistance. Common options include polyimide (high temperature, very thin wall), polyurethane (flexible, solderable), and other engineered insulations selected to meet the specific requirements and safety standards of each device.
Tubing
Tubing solutions for catheter bodies, drainage systems, fluid transfer, and related medical applications.
Thermoset tubing is used in the manufacturing of medical devices to produce very small diameters with tight tolerances. Available materials include polyimide, PTFE, and Ultraglide™. Manufactured by dip-technology (multiple dip cycles to build up wall thickness), enabling ultrafine dimensions not achievable by extrusion.
Extrusion tubing is known for its versatility and offers various properties such as lubricity, flexibility, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Materials include PEBAX and PEEK, with options for single or multi-lumen configurations. Braiding and coiling capabilities are available for reinforced constructions.
Coating
Parylene coatings are produced through a gas-phase process within a vacuum chamber at room temperature, resulting in exceptional durability, protection, stability and resistance properties. Available in different thicknesses and customisable per order.
Plasma is used, for instance, to protect precision parts against abrasion and to apply biocompatible carbon coatings on medical implants and instruments — nanometer-scale coatings with precise control.
Electrospinning creates nano-fibres of a polymer using a strong electrical field, serving as a coating for medical devices such as stents.
