Overview: Asahi's round and flat wire coils are designed for high compression resistance and flexibility, making them suitable for use in endoscopic applications, medical robotics, and distal guidewire components. Common applications include endoscopic clips and protective flexible tubes with internal pull wires.
Specifications:
- Round Wire Coil: Offers high flexibility and compression resistance. The outer diameter (OD) ranges from 0.48 to 2.30 mm, with a trial range of 0.10 to 3.50 mm. The inner diameter (ID) ranges from 0.28 to 1.10 mm, with a trial range up to ~1.80 mm. The ratio of coil OD to wire OD (D/d) is between 4 and 8. Lengths can reach up to 3000 mm.
- Flat Wire Coil: Provides excellent flexibility and good compression resistance. The OD ranges from 0.38 to 2.11 mm, with a trial range of 0.10 to 5.90 mm. The ID ranges from 0.24 to 1.07 mm, with a trial range of 0.07 to 5.30 mm. The ratio of coil OD to wire thickness (D/t) is between 5 and 8. Lengths can also reach up to 3000 mm.
Performance Ratings: The document uses a legend to rate applicability, with 5 being the highest and 1 the lowest. Round wire coils score 4 for flexibility and 5 for compression resistance, while flat wire coils score 5 for flexibility and 4 for compression resistance.
