Product Highlights

Outer Diameter (OD):Insulation:Wire AWG:
Tight Wall Tolerance: Down to 5% wire ODPin-Hole-Free Insulation
(FEP, PFA, ETFE)		36 - 52

Features and Benefits

Extrusion process used to apply insulation around the wire:
Ensures accurate concentricity (uniform wall thickness around the wire) in implantable lead environments

Wide selection of materials available: conductors (SPC, MP35N, precious metals, stainless steel); biocompatible insulation (FEP, PFA and ETFE); variety of wire gauges (36 to 52 AWG):
Supports a high degree of customization

Chemically inert insulation:
Impervious and inert to surgical fluids. Ensures biocompatibility use in a human body

Pin-hole-free wire without defect or holes:
Offers superior reliability over similar products with emulsion and dispersion coatings which are susceptible to cracking

Conductor wall thicknesses down to 0.0076mm:
Meets tight tolerance requirements for invasive and implantable medical applications

Overview

Temp-Flex Micro Extrusion Primary Wires enable customers to develop surgically implantable leads that can be densely packaged for a variety of medical applications. The wire insulation is applied by a precise extrusion process that results in superior dielectric integrity compared to other technologies.

This process simultaneously encapsulates the wire, providing a consistent and uniform coating. In addition, the process provides a pin-hole-free insulation, resulting in limited risk of conductor exposure and provides a more reliable insulation versus dispersion or enamel coatings.
