Our superelastic Nitinol Wire is a game-changer for stone retrieval baskets, making urological procedures smoother and more effective. Nitinol, a nickel-titanium alloy, is renowned for its superelasticity—meaning it can bend and twist like nobody’s business and still snap back to its original shape without kinking. With a nickel content of 54.5-57.0% and a transformation temperature range of -25°C to 35°C, our wire meets ASTM F2063 standards, ensuring top-notch biocompatibility and performance. Whether it’s capturing kidney stones or navigating complex anatomy, our Nitinol wire delivers precision you can trust.
What makes our wire stand out? It’s built for flexibility and reliability. With tensile strength of 1000-1400 MPa and excellent fatigue life, it’s perfect for the demanding world of urological devices. We’ve optimized it for stone retrieval baskets, where superelasticity ensures precise capture and release. Our rigorous quality control guarantees every batch is corrosion-resistant and biocompatible, with a smooth surface finish to minimize complications. When it comes to stone retrieval, our Nitinol wire is the go-to choice for surgeons and medical device manufacturers.

Our Nitinol wire is a carefully crafted blend of nickel (54.5-57.0%) and titanium, delivering the superelasticity and shape memory that make it ideal for stone retrieval baskets. The transformation temperature range (-25°C to 35°C) is tuned for body-temperature performance, ensuring the wire flexes and recovers perfectly during procedures. Compared to stainless steel or pure titanium, our Nitinol is a cut above. Stainless steel is strong but prone to kinking, which can disrupt delicate urological procedures. Pure titanium is biocompatible but lacks the flexibility and superelasticity needed for dynamic retrieval baskets.
Our wire’s corrosion resistance is exceptional, standing up to bodily fluids like urine without degrading. Its high fatigue life ensures it can handle constant bending—think of a basket opening and closing to capture stones. With an elongation range of 10-20%, our wire balances flexibility and strength, making it perfect for intricate applications like urological baskets. We also offer customization options, like adjusting transformation temperatures or surface properties, to meet specific device needs, all while maintaining ASTM F2063 compliance for medical safety.
