Kanthal Palm Coast
Sensor Wire
The primary use for polymer coated, precision medical wire is in sensor applications for in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, where electrical signals or currents are conducted micro-invasively. Key product features of the Sandvik Bioline range are small diameter (around 0.001")
and a wide choice of polymer coatings, offered either as standard, or custom coated to precise requirements and specifications. The extremely thin coatings – 0.0004" is common – can be customized to customers exact requirements.


Typical end use applications include heart mapping devices, blood pressure and temperature measuring equipment, and neurological applications.


All applications demand specific material properties, both in the wire and the coating. The Sandvik Bioline program offers a wide range of wire material grades and Polyimide, Polyamide, PTFE and FEP coatings.
