Catheter

High-strength, high-torsion stainless steel wire
SSS304 US

Suzuki-Sumiden Stainless SSS 304 US is a stainless steel wire that combines high strength with high torsion characteristics.

Characteristics

  • Chemical composition:SUS304(JIS Spec)
  • High strength (approximately 20% higher than SUS304WPB)
  • High torsional properties (twist value approximately 30% higher than SUS304WPB)

Recommended applications

Medical applications (catheter guide wires, suture needles, etc.)

SSS304US exhibits superior torsional characteristics compared to SUS304WPB, featuring:
・Torque: Approximately 23% higher
・Torsion value: Approximately 30% higher

Normally, high strength and high torsional properties do not coexist, but through our unique processing, this product is able to achieve both of these characteristics.
