Medical device manufacturers depend on precision components that are produced consistently and according to exact specifications. Even a small wire component may need specific dimensions, bends, connection points, or threaded features to function properly within a larger device or assembly. Apex Wire Products Co., Inc. supports these needs with custom wire forming, welding, threading, and metal fabrication services for medical applications.
With manufacturing experience dating back to 1940, Apex brings decades of knowledge to custom metal component production. Our capabilities cover a range of operations, allowing customers to work with one manufacturing partner for multiple stages of production. From prototypes and initial component development to production quantities and secondary fabrication, Apex works from customer drawings and specifications to produce components designed for their intended application.
Medical Device Welding
Apex provides medical device welding services for custom wire and metal components that need to be securely joined as part of a larger medical device or assembly. Our welding capabilities include MIG, TIG, and spot welding, as well as brazing and silver soldering for applications requiring different joining methods.
Medical device components may consist of multiple individual pieces that need to be joined accurately and consistently. A proper medical device welding process can help create a strong connection while maintaining the dimensional requirements of the finished component. Apex can work with materials such as stainless steel, steel, aluminum, nickel-chrome alloys, brass, beryllium copper, and other specialty metals.
Our medical device welding capabilities can also be combined with other fabrication processes. A component may be cut, formed, pierced, threaded, and welded as part of a broader manufacturing process, helping customers consolidate multiple operations with one supplier.
Medical Wire Forming
Apex specializes in medical wire forming for custom two- and three-dimensional wire components. CNC medical wire forming allows our team to create precise bends and repeatable geometries based on customer drawings and specifications. Our equipment can accommodate wire diameters ranging from 0.008″ to 0.75″, supporting both small, intricate components and larger wire forms.
We work with a variety of metals, including stainless steel, steel, aluminum, nickel-chrome alloys, brass, beryllium copper, and other specialty materials. Material selection can be based on the mechanical and environmental requirements of the finished application.
Medical wire forming projects can range from prototypes and development quantities to larger production runs. Apex can also perform additional operations such as wire straightening and cutting, swaging, piercing, threading, tapping, and welding when a formed wire component requires further processing before assembly.
Threading Services for Medical Devices
Certain medical device components require threaded features for fastening, adjustment, positioning, or assembly. Apex provides threading and tapping as part of our secondary fabrication capabilities, allowing threaded features to be incorporated into custom components according to project requirements.
Threading can be combined with other Apex capabilities to create more complete components. Instead of managing separate suppliers for wire forming, machining, and threading, customers can work with Apex for multiple fabrication operations. This can help simplify production coordination and provide greater consistency between manufacturing stages.
Our team works from customer-provided drawings, specifications, and requirements to determine the appropriate approach for each project.
Quality Assurance – Medical Grade Quality
Quality and consistency are important when producing components used in medical applications. Apex maintains quality assurance procedures throughout production, including inspection and traceability practices designed to help ensure components meet customer specifications.
Our team works from customer drawings, specifications, and production requirements to maintain consistency throughout the manufacturing process. We also provide material and process documentation when required. While specific medical-device requirements depend on the application and customer, Apex approaches every project with an emphasis on dimensional accuracy, repeatability, and dependable manufacturing.
