Flat wire, ready for the braider.

Component Supply now offers 304V stainless steel spring-tempered rolled flat wire on Steeger braiding machine bobbins. Each bobbin contains 5,000 feet, with 16- and 32-bobbin sets available in select thicknesses and widths.

For teams developing braided catheter reinforcement, the flat profile offers greater surface coverage than comparable round wire while supporting low-profile designs.

We learned a lot in Ireland. And somehow, Kristin managed to narrow it all down to three words: Zoom. Trade. Scale.

In this episode of Bits and Pieces, Kristin and Mark recap their time at MPP Ireland and Medical Technology Ireland, sharing some great insights on medical device design and collaboration.

A lot of the conversations came back to those three words:

Zoom out to understand the whole device and its application. Make informed trade-offs about what really matters. And think about scale early, because making a few prototypes is very different from manufacturing thousands of parts consistently.

Component Supply is pleased to sponsor MPP MN on October 27 at Rush Creek Golf Club in Maple Grove, Minnesota!

Spend the day with MedTech engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers exploring the materials, processes, and partnerships that move medical devices from development through production. Sessions will cover catheter scalability, precision metals and hypotube manufacturing, polymer processing, automation, and supply chain resilience—with plenty of time to connect throughout the day.

Don’t miss the panel moderated by Component Supply President Mark Maffett: Secondary Operations: Critical Processes That Make or Break Catheter & Device Scalability.

Join Mark and panelists from Rosemedical, ProPlate®, Cordica Medical, and VitalPath for a closer look at the processes that help turn a device concept into a scalable product.

Then keep the conversations going at the closing networking reception from 5–6 p.m., sponsored by Component Supply! We’d love to hear about your projects, connect with industry partners, and talk about how we can support your R&D as it scales.

Every breakthrough in detection, treatment, and patient care starts with people testing ideas and building better tools. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Component Supply is supporting the researchers doing that work with up to 20% off your order through October 31.

But it does not stop at discounts. Through our program REAP (Research Engagement and Awareness Program), we'd love to feature your research and share your story with our community.

The reinforcement in a catheter shaft has a big job to do.

Our new 304V stainless steel spring-temper rolled flat wire is designed for braiding applications where surface coverage, a low profile, and consistent dimensions matter. It can be used in braided reinforcement for catheter shafts, delivery systems, introducer sheaths, and other flexible medical-device components.

To make the move from material selection to production easier, we supply it directly on Steeger braiding-machine bobbins: 5,000 feet per bobbin, in sets of 16 or 32.

Component Supply will be at MD&M Midwest on October 28–29! Find us at booth 2808 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Whether you’re working on an early design, exploring DFM, or planning for production, stop by and talk with our team.

What to expect when you stop by:

• Explore custom capabilities, including precision cut lengths, profile grinding, and end forming.

• Talk through scheduled shipments tailored to your application and production needs.

• See how we support R&D that scales from turning around 1–5 prototypes in as little as 24 hours to helping you plan for what comes next.

Want dedicated time with our team? Message us on LinkedIn to set up a meeting.

See you in Minneapolis at booth 2808!

What does it mean to support R&D that scales?

It starts with details that are easy to miss -- like shipping costs! In this clip of our latest episode of Bits & Pieces, Mark and Kristin explain how a shipping box crossing a carrier's length threshold can make your wire and tubing shipping cost jump.

Did you know that thresholds vary by carrier and shipping method? That's why it's important to check before ordering long lengths you'll cut down anyway. Or skip the guesswork: find your stock diameter, choose a shorter stock length or request parts cut or ground to spec, and work with our team as your specs change, or your volume grows.
