Last years brought a meaningful progress in materials used in urology field. Thanks to endourological methods hospitalization time can be very short, complication risk became little and first of all operative treatment was abandoned almost entirely. The success in diagnostics and treatment dependent on properly solved technological problems of manufacturing of tools and instruments, as well as accessories necessary for treatment, including guide wire with required effective characteristics. From their properties depend on right endoscope manipulation. Carried out tests of commercial wire enabled to determine the requirements which wire for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, ureterorenoscopy and nephrostomy should meet. In this elaboration wires complex construction was emphasized. Realization research works connected with selection variables of wires production process will permit to supply hospitals with products which satisfy modern endoscopy.
