1. A method for making a neutral hybrid braided structure, comprising:
positioning a first set of wires on a braiding machine in a first set of positions;
positioning a second set of wires on the braiding machine in a second set of positions,
wherein each wire in the first set of wires has a first cross-sectional diameter, and each wire in the second set of wires has a second cross-sectional diameter that is smaller than the first cross-sectional diameter; and
braiding the first set of wires and the second set of wires on the braiding machine to form the neutral hybrid braided pattern,
wherein the neutral hybrid braided pattern comprises each of the first set of wires being positioned immediately adjacent at least one other wire of the first set of wires, and each of the second set of wires being positioned immediately adjacent at least one other wire of the second set of wires, and
wherein the neutral hybrid braided pattern further comprises four locations around a diameter of the braiding machine at which three of the second set of wires are positioned consecutively.
