Precision taper grinding of tiny, highly sensitive wires complements DSA’s portfolio of components for interventional devices

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12, 2023 — David Schnur Associates (DSA), a global supplier of outsourced technical sales and marketing services for the medical device industry, recently announced an exclusive, multi-year strategic agreement with Wytech Industries, a leading contract manufacturer of precision-ground wire and metal tube components based in Rahway, N.J.

With its affiliate company, Minneapolis-based Mountain Manufacturing, Wytech is a leader in the development and manufacturing of core wires, mandrels, heat set tooling, and micro-machined components for medical device OEMs and CMOs. The company also offers in-stock components available online and a rapid prototype program that enables early-stage R&D.

“As medical devices become smaller, there’s great demand for taper grinding tiny, highly sensitive wires with precision tolerances for critical neurovascular and cardiovascular applications,” said DSA CEO Barry Schnur. “Wytech is laser focused on ultrafine core wire grinding, and they’re the best in the industry. This capability is an important addition to our offering of components for customers developing minimally invasive devices.”

“We are extremely excited about Wytech’s partnership with DSA and the immense value it will bring to our customers,” said David Ohmann, CEO of Wytech. “By harnessing our collective applications expertise and Wytech’s investments in state-of-the-art wire grinding, wire processing, and precision machining equipment, we expect unprecedented medical device innovation involving both wire- and metal tube-based solutions.”

In the initial phase, DSA will support U.S. regions including California, the Rocky Mountain area, the Southeast and the Southwest including Texas, with major international coverage later in the year.

“The scope and scale of Wytech’s precision grinding capabilities is unmatched,” Schnur said. “They’ve made an incredible investment in capital equipment, with new fully automated, high-speed grinding cells that allow them to better meet customer demands. These capabilities, combined with their deep materials expertise, make Wytech a great fit for customers who need support for early-stage R&D as well as for high-volume production transfers.”
