Secant Medical Inc Reviews

Quality Braid Manufacturer


Manufacturing , Medical Device
04/16/2014

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 5

If you are trying to source a well understood braided component, with mid to large volumes, then Secant is the place to go. Even if your specs aren't completely dialed in, the can help you get there. Secant will also do smaller prototype runs, but in my experience, their business doesn't focus on this part of the development process, and it is more difficult and expensive to get things done. After all, braiding is primarily a large quantity operation where the set-up costs can be a substantial contributor to the piece part cost. I would still recommend Secant, but it's important to know where their focus is before you start.

Strengths: Braiding of metallic and non-metallic fibers

Needs to improve: much more interested in large orders

Secant reminds me of a math function, their name stuck out to us when we were looking for a vendor that deals with basic wiring. We knew nothing about wiring and were just looking for a simple solution. Secant taught us about the strength and wonders of braided wires. Their service outshines their amazing products. They understood our needs and were very patient with us and our myriad of questions. Product quality itself is top notch would not go anywhere else for our needs.
