Medical Stainless Steel Wire

Vita Needle offers wire in several alloys, tempers, and sizes. Typically sold in hard (spring) temper, 304 & 316 stainless steel medical wire is our most common alloy. Chemically, SS 304 and SS 302 wire are very similar, except for a higher carbon content in 302, which effectively gives it a higher tensile strength for a given amount of cold work. We also stock hundreds of sizes of other alloys, and special sizes can be custom made if not available in stock. 

Wire can be sold as straight random lengths, coils/spools (not all sizes in stock but can be made) or Vita can provide fully fabricated parts and assemblies out of wire. Some of the most common fabrication requests are for step grinds, specially formed pins, or shaped mandrels; however our process capabilities are not limited to these parts alone. Please send us your drawing and we will respond promptly with a quotation.

Products can be quoted within 24-48 hours and no quantity is too low or high to review. Vita Needle will quote a wide range of raw material and custom products from a few feet/pieces to thousands of feet/pieces. Custom chemistry and ASTM requirements will also be reviewed for quoting upon request.
