Written by Anne Nichols | Aug 9, 2022 11:15:00 AM

Specialized medical instruments used in vascular therapy rely on wire and strand to perform accurately and consistently during every procedure. Luckily, Loos and Company Medical Technologies Division manufactures superior medical wire and stranded products that withstand the rigors of surgical operations without failing under pressure. From braiding wire and core wire, to guidewires and cable, we have the best value in vascular products available on the market today, and we back it by our commitment to quality.

Guidewires
Guidewires are commonly used in procedures such as catheterization and angioplasty to steer other types medical equipment through the body. Our guidewire is available in a wide range of alloys and sizes to accommodate these complex movements, and our tight tolerances ensure you receive only the highest quality products. To learn more about our guidewires and other wire products, visit our medical wire products page.

Core Wire
Elasticore® Medical Extrusion Wire is a great alternative to the silver clad copper or Teflon-coated copper material traditionally used in medical tubing extrusion. Core wire is used as a place holder during the extrusion process, which can leave behind flakes, foreign debris, and contaminants when performed with the aforementioned materials. For core wire that eliminates potential contamination, we recommend using Elasticore. For more information, download a copy of our medical extrusion wire brochure from our website.

Braiding Wire
Braiding wire from Loos and Company Medical Technologies Division is a versatile material that adds structure and support to products all across the healthcare industry. Often found in catheters and other forms of reinforced tubing, our braiding wire is strong enough to withstand a wide variety of medical applications without issue. We have the capability to produce braiding wire from either round or flat wire, allowing you to choose the ideal material to satisfy your specific requirements.

Cable and Strand
Our medical strand is available in two, three, four, and more wire twists to meet your requirements. We also have the capability to produce cables from as few as two wires to as many as 133, with standard constructions such as 3x3, 3x7, 3x3x3, 7x7, and 7x19. These products exhibit different physical properties, such as flexibility and torque, that add strength and structure to medical assemblies.
