German term or phrase: Biegedraht
This is obviously a flexible material, and is contrasted with Eisendraht, for example. Is it simply a generic description or is there actually a material called Biegedraht? Thanks!

This is, of course, something like the tie wire Andrew suggested, but since the document was a patent, I had to be as literal and vague as the German, so I went with "bending wire". Thanks to both of you.

Ah well, Gavin, if it's something *really* scientific you want, then perhaps you should put 'bendy' wire :-)
