Anomet Products has introduced custom manufactured clad composite wire that can combine several properties into a single wire for all types of medical device manufacturers.
Anomet Medical Clad Wire can combine up to three materials to meet specific design requirements, performance, and cost criteria; especially where solid wire is limited. Combining one or more precious metals and a core material into a single wire, this composite wire can be formulated to achieve various combinations of corrosion and wear resistance, strength, conductivity, formability, biocompatibility, radiopacity, and more.
Typical configurations of Anomet Medical Clad Wire for implantable devices include: Platinum-iridium clad tantalum, Platinum clad MP35N, Silver cored MP35N, 316LVM clad tantalum, Nitinol clad platinum, and Gold clad nitinol. These wires have a smooth consistent finish and can be manufactured in sizes from 0.002” to 0.125” O.D. with 2% or more cladding thickness.
