By Chamfr Team

November 25, 2024

At Chamfr, we are dedicated to expanding our wire offerings to meet the specialized needs of medical device product development. This week, we’re thrilled to introduce Wiretech Industrial Technologies and their line of precision tungsten wire—a versatile and crucial material that will support your R&D efforts, especially in applications like imaging, durability, and high-performance diagnostics. 

Why Choose Tungsten Wire for Medical Devices? 

Tungsten wire is a trusted material in medical device manufacturing, and it brings a range of benefits that are essential for innovation. Here’s why this material should be central to your product development process: 

• Radiopacity: With high radiopacity, tungsten wire is ideal for imaging in devices such as guidewires and catheters, providing the visibility needed under X-rays to enhance precision and patient safety. 
• Durability: Known for its impressive tensile strength, tungsten wire excels in high-stress applications, making it ideal for vascular stents, retrieval devices, and other applications where durability cannot be compromised. 
• Heat Resistance: Tungsten withstands high temperatures, meaning it can endure rigorous sterilization processes without degradation—an essential feature for medical devices used repeatedly in clinical settings. 
• Conductivity: Its excellent electrical conductivity supports seamless performance in diagnostic and therapeutic devices, particularly for sensors, where reliable signal transmission is crucial.
