Neurovascular Case Study Textiles Braiding and Engineering

Case Study: Textile Engineering Accelerates Neurovascular Device Development Background & Challenge Benchtop evaluation and animal studies for a new biodegradable neurovascular device were set to begin in just a few weeks. There was just one problem, though: the device prototype had yet to be completed. The original development partner was facing resource constraints and could […]

Medical Device Design: The Benefits of Partnering Early with an Expert Textile Supplier

Medical textiles and polymers are critical components of implantable medical devices. Whether they’re designed for vascular or general surgery applications, implantable medical devices and delivery systems rely on many components that work together synchronously to enable and enhance patient quality of life. How do these biomaterials fit into the big picture? Textiles have many diverse […]

Implantable Biomaterials Revolutionize Neurovascular Devices

In the neurovascular device segment, development is focused on minute, precision devices delivered via micro-catheters. The overarching challenge is to create components that maximize performance within a minimal deliverable profile. That’s where biomaterials come in. A Growing Need Most neuro-interventional procedures focus on aneurysm repair. According to the OHSU Brain Institute, nearly 30,000 people suffer […]
