Superelastic Wire

Nitinol Wire 

 

Memry’s superelastic nitinol wire supports the most complex of component designs requiring intricate geometric shapes. By fine-tuning the wire’s chemical composition and thermal processing, Memry has achieved wire with the flexibility and kink-resistance central to medical device applications, including stents, catheters, endodontic files, needles, trocars, mandrels, baskets, surgical instruments, snares and guidewires.
Memry can design wire so that it is ready for 100ºC degrees or -100ºC usage or anywhere in between, depending on the application. Clients specify their desired operating temperature, and how the material should behave, and Memry adjusts the composition accordingly. Thus, Memry nitinol wire is useful not just in superelastic applications, but for those that require thermal control, such as switches, actuators.
