There’s no single path into MedTech.

In fact, sometimes the path you swore off is the one you end up on.

In this episode of Bits & Pieces, Kristin is joined by our own Stephanie, who shares a story about how breaking a promise to herself led her to a career she loves in the medical device industry.

It’s a good reminder that there are more ways into this industry than people realize.

Last week, some of our team snuck away to Nashville for a night at Topgolf. Great food, plenty of laughs, and just enough friendly heckling to keep things competitive!

Missed last week’s episode of Bits & Pieces? Now’s a great time to catch up!

Kristin is joined by Scott Yoder of Surface Solutions Group for this episode, covering coatings for medical devices, differences between various coatings and how to choose, and how factors like regulations play into the bigger picture.

If coatings are a part of your application, or you’re trying to make sense of them, this one’s worth a listen 👇

Every application has different needs. Sometimes you need stock parts quickly, other times precision components are critical. At Component Supply, we make it simple:

- Shop standard wire and mandrel sizes, ready to ship from our online store
- Work with our Custom Fabrication Team for exact diameters, lengths, or end forms
- Scaling up? Ask us about volume discounts and scheduled shipment options
- Get fast custom quotes to keep your R&D or production timeline on track

See how you can shop or customize wire and mandrels to fit your exact application!

Engineers, researchers, and product designers change the world.

That belief is what started Component Supply.

Back in 2009, there was no perfect plan. Just a few air-conditioned shipping containers in Central Florida and components to help engineers, researchers, and product designers change the world. What began as a small idea quickly turned into something more —more customers, more employees, more capabilities, and eventually a new location in Middle Tennessee.

Almost 17 years later, even with all that's happened, we still feel like we're just getting started.

It's a pretty incredible story, and we're thankful you've been a part of it.

Most engineers don’t realize how many options they have in tip grinding and wire end forms until they’re already over-spec’d. In our latest Bits & Pieces episode, we break down:

- Tip grinding for hypodermic tubing
- End forms for wire and mandrels
- Where cost and performance are often misunderstood

If you’re trying to make prototyping easier (and avoid unnecessary complexity), this episode is worth a listen.

Check it out and connect with our engineering and custom quoting teams to see what’s possible.

Our tube and wire bending capabilities are built around precision, repeatability, and understanding how each bend impacts downstream performance from assembly to final use. The goal isn’t just forming parts, it’s making sure they perform exactly as intended, every time.

If you’re working through a challenging design or looking to improve consistency, let’s talk.

In our newest Bits & Pieces episode, Mark and Kristin break down how wire end forms and hypotube tip grinds affect not only performance, but cost too, and where engineers often over-specify without realizing it.

This episode also covers:
• Common wire end forms like bull nose, full radius, chamfer, bevel, and broken edges
• Hypotube tip grind options including single bevels, multi-facet grinds, and trocar points
• How different end geometries affect device assembly and insertion
