Abstract
Methods and devices are provided for supporting a wire having a minimum tolerable bend radius. The device comprises a core portion with a longitudinal axis supporting at least a first portion of the wire and a flange portion attached to the core portion supporting at least a second portion of the wire. The device has at least one hole with a first opening in the first surface defined by a first rim and a second opening in the second surface defined by a second rim. The hole allows the wire to pass through and also supports the wire. The hole is oriented in three dimensions to forestall a bend that may occur in the wire having a bend radius that is less than the minimum tolerable bend radius of the wire.
