With comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, we develop delivery systems
in a wide range of models and configurations. Our technical experts ensure
the highest-quality materials are matched to the precise design
specifications and requirements of every component and 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.

We maintain strong R&D investment to develop new technologies that
complement customer initiatives to incorporate electrical and optical
capabilities into catheters. 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.
