SUKO Plastic supplies PTFE zebra guidewires for medical device manufacturers, catheter developers, distributors, and minimally invasive equipment projects. The guidewire combines a smooth PTFE outer layer with a stainless steel or nitinol core. This construction supports controlled handling, smooth catheter navigation, and flexible access through curved or narrow pathways.
The PTFE outer layer provides low surface friction and a smooth finish. It helps reduce resistance during insertion and withdrawal when the guidewire works with a compatible catheter. The striped surface also improves visual identification during operation. Blue-and-white and yellow-and-blue patterns are common options, while custom color combinations can be discussed for private-label and device-integration projects.
SUKO Plastic can coordinate guidewire specifications according to the target device and application. Customers can select the core material, guidewire diameter, overall length, distal-tip design, flexible-tip section, color pattern, coating, packaging, and labeling. Straight, angled, curved, and other customized tip configurations are available.

Stainless Steel and Nitinol Core Options
SUKO Plastic provides two core-material options for different handling requirements. Stainless steel offers strong support and direct torque response. Nitinol provides higher flexibility, better kink resistance, and improved elastic recovery.
| Comparison | Stainless Steel Core | Nitinol Core |
|---|---|---|
| Support | Strong support and clear pushing feedback | Flexible support with smoother adaptation |
| Torque Response | Direct rotational response | Smooth rotational movement |
| Flexibility | Moderate | High |
| Kink Resistance | May deform after excessive bending | Better kink resistance and recovery |
| Shape Recovery | Limited shape-memory effect | Superelasticity and shape-memory properties |
| Suitable Use | Pathways requiring pushability and direct feedback | Curved, narrow, or complex pathways |
