EP Steerable Introducer Sheaths & Transseptal Sheaths

We provide a full range of solutions to support every phase of the product life cycle for an EP steerable introducer sheath and transseptal sheath used in TMVR and LAA applications.

Design and development of steerable introducer sheaths and transseptal sheaths.
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 standard and custom structural heart device components, including polyimide-coated wire, high-spring constant coils, braided shafts, polyimide tubing, braided multi-lumen extrusions, PT electrodes and marker bands, welded electrode assemblies, coated stainless wire-welded pull cables, thermocouples, micro-machined components, micro-molding, and machined and molded handles.
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 maintain strong R&D investment to develop new technologies that complement customer initiatives to incorporate electrical and optical capabilities into catheters and sheaths. Throughout our partnership, we provide the mechanical design, process design, device testing, material testing, inspection, traceability, and documentation required to meet complex and sophisticated requirements. We support customers with the following catheter enabling platforms:

Mechanical competencies in delivery platforms, materials joining and precision coating to develop miniaturized sensor, electrical, and optical components.
Advanced electrical and optical design capabilities in fine wire joining, proximal ring connectors, sensor connector attachment, optical fiber connectors, optical fiber polishing, and wire bonding.
Clinical and design assurance to perform benchmark testing, technology research, and clinical evaluation.
