We cannot make less rigid and more
Let’s decrease number of filar
Let’s increase number of filar
SS304 has better torque and lower rigidly
SS316 has better torque and higher rigidity
No above
We will do PTFE coating, it would not affect torque performance
We will do PTFE coating, however, it would affect torque performance
We will do PTFE coating, torque performance would be better
More filar count
Less filar count
No impact (the same)
We cannot change pitch.
Rigidity gets higher, tends to get wire frayed and impact torque performance
Rigidity gets higher, torque performance gets worse and other no impact

The thickness is 16-24 (both side) micron, coated by extrusion and shipped as cut product.
The thickness is 5-100 (both side) micron, coated by dipping method and shipped as spool.
The thickness is 16-24 (both side) micron, coated by dipping method and shipped as spool.
It is manufactured in extrusion and the coating for ACTONE is availble.
It is not manufactured in GMA and manufactured by the other facility.
It is manufactured in extrusion and maily used as material for micro catheter.
