The core wire itself is typically made from high-grade stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance, or Nitinol, a shape-memory alloy offering superelasticity crucial for flexible and kink-resistant guidewires and stents. Depending on the specific device needs, other specialty alloys like platinum, tantalum, and cobalt-chromium might be used for their unique properties. Additionally, the grinding process can be tailored to achieve specific surface finishes and the core wire might receive further coatings to enhance its properties and functionality within the final medical device.
