Strands and Cables

Strands and cables are ideal for applications requiring greater strength and flexibility than a single wire filament can achieve. These highly engineered products often utilize complex constructions or processes to enhance fatigue life, strength, flexibility, torque, stiffness and smoothness. Fort Wayne Metals manufactures medical grade multi-filament strands and cables in customized configurations for a variety of critical applications:

• Orthopaedic Cables
• Guide Wires
• Bioconductors
• Stylets
• Orthodontic Appliances
• Snare Products
• Coated Materials
• Catheters
• Spinal Cable Systems
• Embolic Protection
• Close Tolerance Applications
• Suture / Closure Products
• Endoscopic / Laproscopic Instruments
• Disposable Instruments
• Deflecting and Steering Wires
• Other Demanding Applications

Strands and cables can be offered on spools, discrete lengths and fully assembled. We manufacture strands and cables in a variety of sizes and constructions, ranging from ultra fine or miniature strands with diameters below 0.003" to cables up to 0.125" in diameter. Since tolerances vary depending on diameter, construction, swaging, or drawing, please contact our technical staff with your requirements.
