In-House Capabilities
Whether it's a "build to print" catheter or working off of a napkin sketch, we have the in-house capabilities necessary to deliver components and finished assemblies on a lightning-fast timeline and within your budget.
From braiding and coiling to lamination and final packaging — we handle the full catheter manufacturing workflow under one roof.
Core Capabilities
We offer fine wire braid patterns used ubiquitously in medical catheter shafts. Braid patterns and configurations come in many shapes and sizes. We can help you choose the right one for your application.
Coiling offers more flexibility and trackability over a guide wire, while offering less tensile, compressive, and torsional stability of the shaft.
Lamination or reflow is the process by which a catheter shaft is formed by melting polymer jackets, reinforcing elements (braid, coil, laser-cut hypotube), and liners into a single composite structure.
Finishing Capabilities
Catheters often require a fine finishing touch to terminate braid, join components, or touch up the tip. We have the skills and experience to complete this processing.
With the ability to cut tooling in-house, we can quickly achieve your desired tip shaping, iterating quickly to achieve any shape.
We have a variety of techniques to add marker bands to a catheter, including swaging for longer-term production and split band for prototyping. Radiopaque polymers such as BaSO₄ or tungsten may also be added.
We utilize UV cure adhesives, cyanoacrylates, and epoxies to produce consistent and quality bonds. This includes bonds to luer hubs and other accessories.
Need a finished assembly? We have experience sourcing HDPE backer cards, Tyvek / poly pouches, PETG trays, shelf cartons, shippers, and more. We can also design custom labeling including pouch / carton labels and IFU development.
