Anomet Products Inc. is announcing the availability of custom manufactured clad composite wire that lets medical device makers innovate more effectively by combining several properties into a single wire. It can be formulated to achieve various combinations of strength, weight, conductivity, biocompatibility, and/or radiopacity.
Anomet Medical Clad Wire can achieve characteristics not available in a single alloy wire by combining one or more precious metals and a core material into a single wire with the desired OEM properties. This clad composite wire is offered in 0.002" to 0.060" O.D. sizes with 2% or more cladding thickness.
An implantable connector, for example, could feature Anomet Medical Clad Wire with platinum metallurgically bonded to a stainless steel or nitinol core. A radiopaque wire can feature platinum and platinum-iridium, tantalum and tantalum-tungsten, and similar alloys in clad composite with 316LVM stainless steel, nitinol, and MP35N(R). Other clad formulations can simply achieve cost savings over solid wire.
