The medical device industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and growing patient needs. While large corporations consolidate through acquisitions and multi-million-dollar mergers, smaller contract manufacturers face mounting challenges in staying competitive. Custom Wire Technologies (CWT) is stepping in to bridge this gap, offering a seamless, full-service process to take medical devices from initial concept to full-scale production.
Since 2002, CWT has been an industry leader in medical component manufacturing, specializing in coiling, grinding, wire forming, and nitinol processing. However, CWT is also a trusted partner in complete medical device assemblies, guiding companies through every stage of product development—from the initial napkin sketch to rapid prototyping, cleanroom assembly, and supporting regulatory filings. By offering end-to-end manufacturing solutions, CWT ensures efficiency, precision, compliance, and high-quality output in the medical device industry.
A Seamless Path from Idea to Market
Bringing a medical device to market involves much more than just a great idea—it requires precision engineering, strict regulatory approvals, and scalable production solutions. CWT helps both start-ups and established manufacturers streamline this process by offering:
- Rapid Prototyping – Turning initial concepts into working prototypes with speed and accuracy
- ISO Class 7 Cleanroom Assembly – Ensuring the highest level of cleanliness for bioburden-sensitive parts
- Regulatory Submission Support – Helping device owners navigate complex regulatory requirements for faster market entry
As medical device regulations become more stringent and production demands rise, smaller contract manufacturers often struggle to maintain compliance, control costs, and scale production. CWT provides tailored strategies that ensure regulatory compliance, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, positioning businesses for long-term success.
1. Kirschner Wires (K-Wires) & Steinmann Pins – Orthopedics, Spinal, and Pelvic Fixation, ACL Grafting
CWT produces high-quality fixation wires to ensure superior stability and biocompatibility in supporting fracture management, joint reconstruction, and ligament repair.
2. Reinforcement Coils for Catheters – Cardiac & Central Venous, Urinary Tract
Precision-engineered coils enhance structural integrity, flexibility, and kink resistance, improving catheter performance in minimally invasive procedures.
3. Guidewires – Cardiovascular & Neurovascular Access, Peripheral Access
High-performance guidewires are designed for cardiovascular and neurovascular access, as well as peripheral access procedures. These guidewires offer exceptional torque control, flexibility, and radiopacity, ensuring safe and precise navigation through complex vascular structures.
4. Ablation Guidewires – Cardiovascular, Left Atrium Access
CWT manufactures ablation guidewires for cardiovascular procedures, including left atrium access. These guidewires support catheter-based ablation therapies, offering smooth maneuverability and optimal electrical conductivity for effective energy delivery.
5. Wire Forms – Eye Glass Coatings, Gastro-intestinal
CWT produces clips used in the manufacturing process for coating eye glass lenses. Retaining clips, used to attach two gastro-intestinal devices together, are another example of finished medical wire forms.
6. Mandrels – Multi-Lumen Catheter Forming, Shipping/Product Integrity
