Coronary Sinus

Coronary Sinus Access Guidewires

We provide a full range of solutions to support every phase of the product life cycle for finished coronary sinus access guidewires.

  • Design and development of coronary sinus access guidewires.
  • Transfer of products and processes from one site to another to support product-line transfer, line duplication, low-cost manufacturing, and prototype-to-production migration.
  • Manufacture of custom and standard guidewires and components, including cores, mandrels, stylets, and coils.
  • Design for manufacturability (DFM) to assure that final products can be repeatedly manufactured while meeting quality, reliability, and performance requirements.
  • Clinical and regulatory expertise through our physician advisory board; preclinical product evaluation; validated test methods; and medical device registration, reporting, and vigilance.

We develop guidewires in a wide range of models and configurations. Our materials experts work with customers to achieve optimal product performance. The highest-quality materials are matched to the precise design specifications and requirements of every component and medical device we manufacture.
