Our cross-functional team can work with you to design and engineer the manufacturing process for steerable or deflectable devices for a wide range of demanding applications, such as endoscopic shafts. Our solutions include:
- Unidirectional, bidirectional & quad-directional devices
- Single-plane (single- or dual-wire), dual-plane (4‑wire), and dual-plane (single-wire) deflection
- Customizable articulation segments
- Sub‑3 Fr to 40 Fr diameters
We specialize in the development and manufacturing of neurovascular and cardiovascular microcatheters used to locate and treat aneurysms, clots, and other blood flow problems. We can partner with you to design and manufacture microcatheters and devices that reach areas of the human body that were previously inaccessible. Our microcatheter manufacturing solutions include:
- Variable diameters & braid pic counts
- Laser-cut shafts with variable pitch
- Coil-reinforced microcatheters
- Multiple-durometer shafts
- Advanced connectors & luers
- Custom-molded hubs
Leveraging our expertise in polymers and extrusion, we can design, develop, and manufacture custom balloons and balloon catheters for a wide range of procedures. Our capabilities include:
- Compliant, semicompliant, and noncompliant balloon manufacturing
- Balloon blowing & casting
- Bonding, welding, and other balloon-connecting techniques
