DPS® Nitinol wire

DPS® Nitinol wire offers high stiffness in applications requiring between a 1.5% and 8% strain, where the material enters the plateau region on a stress-strain curve. Guidewire made from DPS® Nitinol that has undergone a slight initial bend will exhibit greater resistance to being bent further than standard Nitinol of the same grade and diameter.

Size ranges

Available in diameters from 0.228 mm to 0.762 mm [0.0090 in to 0.0300 in] and in discrete lengths ranging from 12.7 mm to 3,657 mm [0.5 in to 144 in].

If your Nitinol product need falls outside of the standard medical grade material or the available product forms, please contact your Sales Representative.
