Tipping

Tipping is used to aid in the insertion and guidance of devices such as catheters and introducers.

Our tipping platform utilizes quick-change thread-in, thread-out designs, allowing us to have minimum down time and maximum production. Our high-density carbide dies give us the capability to create damage resistant tips and can be used for extended production runs, resulting in longer tool life. We work with our customers to create tipping dies that can be contoured to accommodate all medical catheter tip applications.

Our common tipping configurations include:

  • Round
  • Irregular
  • Multi-Lumen Shape Transitions
  • Soft Tip Fusion
  • Angular Welds
  • Balloon Tips and Welds
  • Braid to Non-Braid Welds
  • Butt Welds
  • Dilator Tips
  • Tack Welding
  • Balloon Kuff Sealing
  • Hub Welding
  • Tube Sealing
  • Taper Tips
  • Radius Tips
  • Flaring
  • Trocars
  • Neck Downs
  • Overlap Welds
  • Marker Band Embedding/Placement

We also utilize CathTip, Plastaweld, Interface, In-House Built and Vante RF tipping platforms.
