What to Know Before Starting a Guidewire Grinding Project
Guidewire grinding is a specialized process for achieving extremely small diameters and intricate configurations for life-saving devices. The process requires incredible knowledge and skill to ensure part accuracy and cost-effectiveness. With both lives and profits on the line, guidewire grinding can often be a high-stakes project management endeavor. If you’re overseeing a high-stakes guidewire […]
How We Successfully Produced Life-Saving Bend-Free Vascular Guidewires When Others Failed
When a Salt Lake City-based biotechnology firm approached us in 2019, they were working with our competitor to help them manufacture specialty neurovascular guidewires, a critical device component designed for two stroke intervention procedures: thrombectomy and endovascular coiling. Upon reconnecting with them a year later, the firm revealed that their current vendor was struggling to […]
How It’s Made: Medical Guidewires
Medical guidewires are often the most critical component within an ever-growing portfolio of interventional devices used for neurovascular, cardiovascular, and peripheral vascular procedures. These wires lead, or ‘guide’, life-saving devices to address critical patient issues such as aneurysm coiling, clot extraction, interventional cardiology, angioplasty, neuromodulation, and thrombus busting and extraction. These high-precision components are commonly […]
