Eliminating catheter delamination on the production line.
Eliminating catheter delamination on the production line.
Advances in minimally invasive catheter-based procedures have transformed the management of many peripheral conditions. Catheter technology and production techniques are developing rapidly. However, manufacturing microcatheters can be challenging, particularly when bonding the many specialized layers of the device.
Due to contrasting chemistries, these specialized layers can often separate, known as ‘delamination’. Despite many advances in catheter construction, delamination remains a recurring vulnerability that puts patients at risk and poses a serious and costly challenge for manufacturers.
