Ultra-fine mechanical cables, some as small as .006 inches, are supporting advancements in surgical technology. This article features eight innovations made possible by precision-engineered cables, highlighting their critical role in medical device functionality and patient outcomes.
This intricate laparoscopic medical assembly has almost a dozen different machining operations comprising its construction. And one error anywhere down the production line could throw of each phase of construction that follows the quality error. This is why Sava must get each stage of production perfect in order to ensure a predictable quality experience straight through the production line.
The material applied to coated mechanical cable is a molten, extruded chemical that coats bare cable entirely, protecting the solid wire from making direct contact with the environment with which it is deployed. This extruded material is designed to provide a barrier of protection against mating components, or maybe worse, harsh conditions that could shorten the lifespan and integrity of the mechanical cable.
Stainless steel mechanical cable is, by its very design, corrosion resistant. However, for all its corrosion-resistant properties, even stainless steel remains at risk of oxidation when applied to a harsh environment. Passivation extends the life and quality of a stainless steel cable.
