Stainless Steel for
Medical Device Innovation
A Trusted Material for Life-Saving Devices
Stainless steel has long been a critical material in the MedTech industry. Known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, it provides the reliability required for devices used in critical procedures worldwide. From precision surgical instruments to advanced delivery systems, stainless steel enables safer treatments and improved patient outcomes.
At Resonetics®, we’ve been working with stainless steel since 1952. Over the decades, we’ve refined our processes to deliver unmatched surface quality, precise tolerances, and the cleanliness standards demanded by sensitive medical applications. Whether you’re developing next-generation catheter systems, orthopedic tools, or cardiovascular devices, our stainless steel solutions are built to perform.
Why Stainless Steel for MedTech?
- Biocompatibility: Ensures compatibility with the human body in both short- and long-term applications
- Corrosion Resistance: Ensures device longevity and reliability, even in challenging environments
- Mechanical Strength: Provides durability and performance in thin-wall, small-diameter components
- Design Flexibility: Supports miniaturization and complex geometries for modern minimally invasive devices
Stainless Steel Tubing: Thin-Wall Tubing for Advanced MedTech
One of the most widely used forms of stainless steel in medical devices is thin-wall tubing. Resonetics has refined its tubing processes over decades to produce material that meets the highest performance and cleanliness standards. Our cold-drawing techniques create tubing with precise inside and outside diameters, consistent wall thickness, and a smooth surface finish for critical medical applications.
Tubing Specifications
min | max
- Outside diameter (OD): 0.15 mm | 6 mm
- Wall thickness (WT): 0.025 mm | 0.5 mm
These dimensions, combined with our ability to custom-produce tubing to exact requirements, help ensure the reliability and safety of your device design.
