Why Nordson MEDICAL Wire-Forming?

Our wire-forming technology allows for a more customized product than machine or laser cutting, with the widest ranges of sizes, shapes, densities, wire combinations, radiopaque elements, and controlled geometry, including multipurpose snares, braided baskets, and braided stents.

Unmatched Capabilities

One of the key advantages of our nitinol braiding capabilities is our ability to create a custom product with more specific and intricate features, including a wide range of shapes, sizes, and densities. We can create nitinol components with varying diameters, pitches, and patterns to meet your specific needs. This flexibility allows us to tailor the properties of the component, whether it be a stent that requires a tightly woven braid for maximum support, or a catheter that requires a more open braid for improved flexibility.
