Teleflex - Specialty Medical Conductors
Teleflex Medical OEM specializes in the provision of specialty conductors for the medical industry, offering a wide range of products including silver- or nickel-plated copper and copper alloy devices. These conductors can be integrated with sensor technology to help measure vital medical signals, aiding in the design of diagnostic and interventional delivery devices. The company is distinguished by its vertically-integrated capabilities, which encompass concept development, engineering, material selection, prototyping, and comprehensive manufacturing services. Teleflex Medical OEM supports the creation of customized medical devices with advanced bunched wires, stranded ropes, and single end wires to suit specific application needs. Known for enhancing speed, flexibility, and value, the company serves as a co-development partner to leading industry players, thereby playing a crucial role in the advancement of medical technology and device development.
Teleflex Medical OEM is a global source for specialty conductors, which includes a full line of silver- or nickel-plated, copper or copper alloy devices. Our conductors can be combined with sensor technology to measure key medical signals that support customer’s diagnostic/interventional delivery device design.
- Ultra-fine wire from 44 to 52 AWG (American Wire Gauge) with the capability of producing 56 AWG CS-95 wire
- Environmentally friendly, cadmium-free conductor materials
- Diverse, in-house capabilities including bobbin winding, bunching, stranded wire, and single-end wire
Bunched Wires:
- 5 to 95 wires twisted together to make a cable and/or a member for rope cables, (a multi-step process cable where multiple strands are twisted to form a rope)
- Bunched constructions generally require extrusions with wider wall thicknesses
Stranded Ropes:
- Ropes use bunched members that are twisted together
- For example, for a 7 x 95 rope, we take a single core strand with 95 ends, then place 6 strands of 95 ends around the core to make a rope that has 665 ends
- Wire sizes range from 38 AWG down to 46 AWG copper and copper alloys
Stranded Wires:
- 2 to 19 wires twisted together to make a cable
- For example, for a 7 x 95 rope, we take a single core strand with 95 ends, then place 6 strands of 95 ends around the core to make a rope that has 665 ends
- Wire sizes from 28 AWG (thermocouple alloys) down to 56 AWG (copper and copper alloys)
- Materials: copper, copper alloys, and thermocouple alloys
Single End Wire:
- A single wire provided either as:
- Drawn (hard) 38 AWG to 56 AWG
- Annealed (soft) meaning the wire was heat treated to provide lower tensile with increased elongation.
- Size range: 38 AWG down to 56 AWG
- Materials: copper and copper alloys
Bobbins (Wire on Spools):
- 2 to 22 wires that are parallel wound onto spools
- Used by customers for braiding applications
- Generally used for EMI (electromagnetic interference) protection in cables
- Sizes from 38 AWG to 56 AWG
- Materials: copper and copper alloys
Metal Materials for Wires:
- Copper/copper alloys
- Silver-plated copper/copper alloys
- Nickel-plated copper/copper/alloys
- Constantan
- Alumel
- Chromel
- Copper-clad steel
- CS95
Known Applications:
- Electrophysiology
- Patient monitoring devices
- Radiology components
- Ultrasound equipment
