Capabilities

We leverage the latest technologies, equipment, processing techniques, and materials to manufacture complex components, assemblies, and devices.

Complex Catheter Assembly

Custom catheter manufacturing assembly processes are performed in-house within ISO 13485:2016 certified cleanrooms.

  • Capabilities from Microcatheters to Structural Heart
  • Coil Reinforced Shafts
  • Multiple Durometer Shafts
  • Multi-Lumen Shafts
  • Deflection/Articulation Shafts
  • Electrophysiology Catheters

We assemble catheters utilizing a combination of manual, semi-automated, and automated processes, all validated to ensure robust reliability and repeatability.

Our modern ISO 13485:2016 compliant Quality System and highly trained cleanroom product builders ensure full compliance across all components and assemblies.
