To meet the needs of medical device manufacturers, Marktek Inc. has expanded its line of Fibreohm nonmetallic resistive wires, which feature insulated, nonmetallic conductive cores. The wires are offered with linear resistances between approximately 2 Ω/cm ±10% and 197 KΩ/cm ±25%. The most recent additions to the line are FO102T6R, which has a linear resistance of 300–400 Ω/cm and FO103T6R, which has a linear resistance of approximately 600 Ω/cm. Both wire types have ODs measuring 1.3 mm. Because the wires are nonmetallic, they can be used as leads for various patient-connected devices in MRI and X-ray imaging procedures. Similarly, since Fibreohm wires interact minimally with electromagnetic fields, they are suitable for use in electromagnetic field probes, meters and antennas. The wire is available on spools up to several hundred feet in length. 

Fibreohm resistive wire consists of a family of fine, lightweight, nonmetallic, conductive, proprietary, flexible yarns insulated with vinyl. The various resistances can be identified by their distinct insulation colours.
