Medical device companies need a partner who can offer high quality, comprehensive solutions, to help manufacturers develop competitive technologies that are first to market.

Nitinol Shape Setting

Our capabilities cover the full spectrum of your heat-shaping needs — from early concept development to high-volume, steady-state production.

With access to table-top furnaces, fluidized aluminum oxide, and molten salt baths, we provide the right solution at every stage of your project.

Common applications include:

Common applications include:

Vascular stents

Nitinol stents are heat-shaped to expand precisely at body temperature and conform to vessel anatomy

Heart valves

Frames for transcatheter aortic valves (TAVR/TAVI) rely on heat-shaped Nitinol for self-expansion

Guidewires & catheters

Distal tips are heat-shaped for steerability, atraumatic navigation, and kink resistance

Stone retrieval baskets

Heat-shaped to collapse for insertion and then expand to capture stones in urology procedures

Orthodontic archwires

Preformed dental arch shapes rely on heat setting for consistent performance

Neurovascular devices

Coils, flow diverters, and clot retrievers are shaped for precise deployment in delicate vasculature

Anchoring & fixation devices

Heat shaping allows minimally invasive implants to expand and lock into place inside the body

Nitinol Wire Forming

Our advanced forming and heat-setting processes allow you to produce intricate, multi-plane designs while maintaining the mechanical integrity and performance of the material.

From fine coils to sophisticated assemblies, our team delivers repeatable quality at both prototype and high-volume production scales.

Common applications include:

Self-Expanding Stents:

Self-Expanding Stents: Formed by welding nitinol wire into tubular structures that are shape-set to expand upon deployment.

Miniature spring-like components for electrode arrays

Guidewires: Straight or coiled nitinol wire, often with coatings for radiopacity and lubricity, formed for kink resistance and torque control.

Components for stent delivery and valve deployment systems

Cochlear & Hearing Implants

Vena Cava Filters (e.g., Simon Filter): Nitinol wire shaped into expandable filters via thermal shape memory deployment.

Endoscopy & Minimally Invasive Surgical Tools

Retrieval Baskets and Snares: Formed nitinol wire shaped into baskets or loops for capturing and removing foreign bodies, stones, or clots.

Orthopedic & Spine Devices

Flexible Endoscopic Devices: Nitinol wire assemblies or cables formed to create tools that navigate narrow body cavities and then rigidify or actuate as needed, often combined with other materials for enhanced durability.

General Medical Applications

Orthodontic Archwires and Braces: Nitinol wire formed into archwires that apply continuous, gentle pressure for tooth alignment.

Artificial Joints, Ligaments, and BoneStaples: Wire formed into components for orthopedic implants, leveraging shape memory for self-adjusting fixation or replacement of damaged tissues.

Nitinol wire hooks formed to deploy through needles for precise localization during surgery.
