What is the medical purpose of stainless steel wire?

Stainless steel is an ideal material for extension springs and compression springs due to its high tensile strength combined with its inherent anti-corrosion properties. These properties keep springs functioning nominally in high-temperature environments with high load strengths or impact conditions. They also help maintain resistance to fatigue and creep.

Stainless steel wire conforming to NASM20995/ MS20995C / ASTM A580 is available in our extensive inventory in a variety of sizes and spool weights. Custom lengths, shapes, tempers, and conditions available (see data charts).

We conform with all relevant compliance standards (RoHS, REACH, DFARS, MADE IN USA.)

Ortho Arch’s Stainless Steel wire is manufactured of medical-grade stainless materials, and has smooth surfaces, accurate forms, and consistent forces to provide reduced friction and precise torque control. Proper wire characteristics are key in achieving treatment goals. All of Ortho Arch’s Stainless Steel wires are diamond drawn to exacting tolerances guaranteed at .0005. Stringent quality control and testing assure our wire will maintain PSI rating, batch after batch. All arches are mid-line etched: 3 marks for upper and 1 for lower. Round wires -50 per pack, Rectangular wires 10 per pack
