Bonded wire suits medical apps

Anomet Medical Implant Wire combines two or three metals on the interior and exterior, which are metallurgically bonded to achieve properties not available in a single alloy. Suited for coils, micro coils, electrodes, and leads requiring such properties as a conductive interior with a bio-compatible exterior, or high strength and corrosion resistance, the wire is said to provide greater ductility and formability than filled or plated wire.

Available with outer diameters of 0.05 to 3 mm with 2% typical cladding thickness, the wire can employ precious metals on the exterior for properties such as radiopacity, bio-compatibility, and contact-resistance. Interiors can include copper, stainless steel, MP35N, nitinol, nickel-iron, niobium, palladium, tantalum, titanium, and others. Samples are available upon request.
