Steel Wire for General & Medical Industry
Beyond our core markets, Zhongbo supplies general-purpose steel wire for binding, construction, braiding, brushes and cleaning products — plus clean, bright wire suited to medical-use applications.
Whether you need economical black-annealed binding wire by the tonne or fine, clean bright wire to a tight specification, we can produce it.
General-purpose wire is bought on price and reliability by the tonne, while medical-use wire is bought on cleanliness and consistency — and we run both from the same plant. For medical-use applications we supply clean, closely-controlled wire to your standard; we do not make finished medical devices, so grade, finish and testing are always confirmed against your requirement.
Challenges in general & medical
This is a broad category, so the requirements sit at two ends — bulk economy and fine cleanliness:
- Economical binding wire by the tonne without quality swings that cause breakages on site.
- Fine, clean wire held to a tight cleanliness or surface specification.
- Matching the finish — annealed, galvanized or bright — to the end use.
- Clean, controlled wire for medical-use applications tied to a named standard.
- One supplier for a mix of construction, manufacturing and specialty wire.
General-purpose wire
Everyday steel wire for construction, packaging and manufacturing, in coils by the tonne or cut to length.
Black-annealed binding wire is the workhorse for construction and packaging; galvanized binding and tying wire adds corrosion resistance; and drawn wire for braiding, brushes and steel wool serves manufacturing. We supply the full spread so distributors can consolidate on one mill.
- Black-annealed wire for binding and construction
- Galvanized binding and tying wire
- Hot-dip galvanized iron wire for general use
- Wire for braiding, weaving and brushes
- Steel wool and cleaning-pad wire
Clean wire for medical use
For medical-use applications we can supply clean, bright, closely-controlled wire. Share the standard and cleanliness requirement and we will advise on grade, finish and testing.
We supply the wire as a raw material to your specification rather than a finished medical device, so responsibility for device qualification stays with you — but we control diameter, surface and cleanliness tightly and document them so your process starts from a known, consistent input.
From bulk binding to fine wire
This category spans a very wide range, and we produce across all of it from the same plant. At the bulk end, black-annealed and galvanized binding wire ships in coils by the tonne for construction, packaging and general manufacturing, where consistent break strength and a fair price matter most. In the middle sit drawing wires for braiding, weaving, brushes and steel-wool or cleaning products, each with its own diameter and temper.
At the fine end, we draw and clean bright wire to tight diameter and surface specifications for precision and medical-use applications, always to the customer’s named standard. Because it all comes from one supplier, distributors and manufacturers can consolidate a mixed requirement onto a single order and a single quality contact, instead of managing several mills for one product range. Whatever the end use, we confirm grade, finish, packing and testing against your specification before we start.
Standards & compliance
General-purpose wire is supplied to common trade standards or your specification; medical-use wire is always made to the customer’s named standard and cleanliness requirement. Zhongbo confirms grade, finish and testing against your requirement and can provide mill test certificates covering diameter and, where relevant, surface and mechanical properties. Send your standard and we will advise what we can produce and verify.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell general binding wire in bulk?
Yes — black-annealed and galvanized binding wire are available in coils by the tonne for construction and packaging.
Can you supply wire for medical-use applications?
We can produce clean, bright, closely-controlled wire. Send your standard and requirements and we will confirm grade, finish and testing.
What finishes are available?
Black annealed, hot-dip galvanized and bright finishes, in a range of diameters and packing formats.
Do you make finished medical devices?
No. We supply clean, closely-controlled steel wire as a raw material to your standard; qualification of the finished device remains with you. We provide the diameter, surface and test documentation your process needs.
Can you supply wire for brushes and steel wool?
Yes — drawn wire for braiding, brushes, weaving and steel-wool or cleaning products, in the diameters and finishes those lines use.
Can one order combine bulk and fine wire?
Yes. Because bulk binding wire and fine or medical-use wire come from the same plant, a distributor can consolidate a mixed requirement onto one order with a single quality contact.
