Products
Microcatheters and micro-extruded tubing
Microcatheters with very small outer diameters and corresponding micro-extruded tubing and thin liners for neurovascular and occlusive therapies.
PTFE-lined and lubricious-lined catheters
Catheters with low-friction liners and a range of jacket and reinforcement options to optimize torque, pushability and lubricity.
Balloon catheters and standard/custom balloons
Balloon catheters across compliance classes with specified diameters, lengths and measured burst pressures; available as custom and quick-turn options.
Large-diameter braid/coil reinforced shafts
Large-bore reinforced shafts with ultra-thin walls, multiple liner/jacket options and reinforcement configurations for introducers, sheaths and access devices.
Steerable catheter handles and control units
Ergonomic control handles for multidirectional catheters with options for steering mechanisms and integration of pull-wires and auxiliary components.
Medical wires, coated mandrel wire and fine wires
Range of coated mandrel wires, conductors and film-insulated fine wires for use in catheters and minimally invasive devices with custom coatings and radiopaque options.

Services
Concept definition, engineering support and design-for-manufacturability services to develop device concepts into producible designs.
Custom extrusion of fluoropolymers and thermoplastics, including PTFE, FEP, nylons, thermoplastic elastomers, microbore, multi-lumen and heat-shrink tubing with tight tolerances.
Automated coating application, UV-cured formulations, single- and dual-dip processes, coating characterization and sample support with biocompatibility testing assistance.
Performance and analytical testing for coatings and components, including lubricity, durability, particulate, viscosity and burst pressure testing, and laboratory support for regulatory submissions.
Custom tooling, process development, overmolding, hub molding, flaring, tipping, drilling, printing, color compounding, assembly and packaging to support scale-up.
Remote device-development engagements using secure online collaboration tools and video conferencing to work with development teams and to support rapid, distributed design iterations.
