You can rely on Fort Wayne Metals not only to produce high quality medical wire - we can also provide you with material testing and metallurgical services.
To make sure our high standards are maintained at all times we have implemented a technical laboratory. Here we strive to improve the quality of our products through characterization, special product testing and classifying the materials we use in making wire. And you can rest assured that your materials will be put under the same careful scrutiny that our own materials receive before they are manufactured into high quality medical grade wire.
