Component Supply wires and mandrels are widely used in medical device R&D, prototyping, and production, with a strong emphasis on catheter design, guidewire assemblies, and precision mandrels. Our products provide tight tolerances, consistent materials, and reliable performance for demanding medical applications.
Stainless Steel Mandrels & Straight Wires – Ideal for catheter mandrels, stylets, introducers, push-pull rods, and guidewire assemblies.
Guidewire Assemblies – Used across coronary, gastroenterology, renal, urology, obstetrics/gynecology, radiology, and peripheral vascular applications.
Actuators & Push-Rod Assemblies – Stainless steel and Nitinol wires are used in mechanical assemblies requiring precise movement and strength.
Superelastic Nitinol – Supports catheter mandrels, guidewires, mechanical switching devices, prosthetics, robotic actuators, stents, and superelastic needles.
Coated Mandrels – PTFE and GlideMed™ coated mandrels preserve catheter inner diameter (ID) integrity during reflow, bending, and assembly.
While Component Supply focuses on medical device development, our wires are also used in industrial applications:
304 Stainless Steel Wire – Spring-tempered for manufacturing springs and structural components
Music Wire – High-stress compression, extension, and torsion applications requiring repeatable performance
Component Supply provides comprehensive wire and mandrel fabrication capabilities for medical device R&D, catheter development, and production-scale applications. Our services support precision tolerances, complex geometries, and high-performance components across all commonly used medical wire materials, including 304 and 316 stainless steel, Nitinol, PTFE-coated wire, and GlideMed™ coated wire.
Precision Cutting – Tight tolerances for mandrels, guidewires, and catheter components
Shape-Setting for Prototyping – Custom shapes for Nitinol in small batch quantities
End-Forming – Proximal and distal ends shaped with bevels, radii, chamfers, or conical profiles
