EPD Inferior Vena Cava

Embolic Protection Devices & Inferior Vena Cava Filters

We provide a full range of solutions to support every phase of the product life cycle for embolic protection devices (EPD) and inferior vena cava filters.

  • Design and development of embolic protection devices and inferior vena cava filters.
  • 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 finished embolic protection devices, inferior vena cava filters and components.
  • Design for manufacturability (DFM) to assure that final products can be repeatedly manufactured while meeting quality, reliability, and performance requirements.

With advanced manufacturing capabilities, we develop embolic protection devices and inferior vena cava filters that meet stringent clinical requirements. Our technical experts match the highest-quality materials are matched to the precise design specifications and requirements of every structural heart component and structural heart device we manufacture.

We maintain ISO 13485 certification across our facilities, as well as quality and process management systems that meet the highest standards set by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the European Community, and other international regulatory authorities. Our technical experts ensure design for manufacturability to decrease development time, minimize costs, and achieve speed to market.
