Why Materials Matter
Selecting the right material for medical wire products is critical to performance, longevity, and compliance with healthcare hygiene standards. At Angola Wire, we work primarily with stainless steel and carbon steel, and we help every client choose the right option for their specific application.
| Material | Best Applications | Key Properties |
|---|---|---|
| 304 Stainless Steel | Wire baskets, shelving racks, general clinical storage | Corrosion resistant, durable, easy to sanitize, non-magnetic |
| 316 / 316L Stainless Steel | Implant wash baskets, surgical trays, sterilization environments | Contains molybdenum for superior resistance to harsh chemicals and autoclave exposure |
| Carbon Steel | Back-of-house equipment holders, non-wet environments | High strength and durability, resistance to deformation — available with powder coat or zinc plating |
Surface Finishes for Medical Applications
For stainless steel medical products, we offer finishes designed to meet clinical hygiene standards:
Electropolishing
Removes microscopic surface irregularities, enhances corrosion resistance, and creates a smoother surface that is easier to sterilize and less likely to harbor bacteria.
Passivation
Removes free iron from the surface of stainless steel, increasing its natural corrosion resistance and extending the working life of medical wire products.
Powder Coating & Zinc Plating
Available for carbon steel products used in non-sterile medical environments, adding corrosion protection and durability for back-of-house applications.
