SURGICAL NEEDLE WIRE

SPECIAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS 1.4031 / AISI 420

  • Tighter chemical analysis tolerances on individual elements when compared to the standard DIN EN 1088-3 chemical analysis
  • Special chemical analysis developed in co-operation with our EU melt source
  • Customized composition of elements such as S, Cr and Si help to provide the best surgical needle production process
  • Higher corrosion resistance of finished components
  • Improved drilling tools life span

IMPROVED MICROSTRUCTURE

Thanks to the customized chemical analysis and melt process, a homogenous microstructure with minimal crabide segregations is achieved
Reduced risk of needle point breakage
Core segregations often result in defective needle points during the production process

HIGH PERFORMANCE SURFACE FINISH

  • The wire rod is peeled before the drawing process commences, in order to eliminate surface defects
  • Utilization of alloy specific drawing media to ensure a clean surface
  • Specially selected drawing dies to better manage material stress during production
  • Reduced electro-polishing time and higher productivity during surgical needle manufacturing process

Advanced Drawing ProcessĀ 

Almost every production step has been customized and improved, so that a perfect surface finish can be guaranteed. Here are some examples:

  • Coating
  • Drawing speeds
  • Drawing media
  • Drawing dies
  • Annealing procedures
