Merit Medical Coatings

Merit Guide Wire components are smoother, more consistent, and offer tight tolerances because we use a continuous spool-to-spool process to coat bulk quantities of wire before they are cut, coiled, or further processed. Merit Coated Guide Wire components are available for coated core, coiling, and coiled wire in a variety of diameters and base materials, including round or flat stainless steel and Nitinol. We offer a complete range of different coating options, including PFOA-free PTFE and hydrophilic coatings. And we can deliver your guide wire components in whatever form you choose, whether it’s spooled, straightened, cut to a specific length, or coiled.

Benefits of Merit’s Guide Wire Components

• Continuous precoating process for coiled wire prevents cracking and flaking typical of spray coated coiled wire, and ensures consistent diameters and tight tolerances
• PTFE or Hydrophilic coating results in a one-to-one torque
• Additional oils are not needed during coiling process with our LubriSkintm coating, which acts like lubricant during coiling process
• Recently upgraded coiling technology for higher-quality coiling services
• Superior in-house manufacturing services available for core wire including single taper; double taper; flattening; grinding; rounded ends; laser ablation
• Bulk precoating process ensures that guide wire components are consistently coated from one to the next
