Supporting next-generation surgical delivery systems with compliant balloon solutions optimized for minimally invasive procedures. Medical device delivery systems are being designed to navigate increasingly complex anatomy while minimizing trauma and improving procedural control. In many of these systems, low-pressure balloons play a critical role, not as precision dilators, but as compliant, adaptive components that support […]

Designing Vascular Access Sheaths for Complex Interventions

Advancing vascular device performance through optimized low-pressure balloon design. As catheter-based procedures continue to replace open and invasive surgery, delivery systems are being asked to do more than ever before — a shift driven largely in part by rapid advancements in interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular interventions. Procedures for conditions such as peripheral artery disease […]

Designing Catheter Sheaths for General Surgery

Advancing general surgery device performance through optimized low-pressure balloon design. As minimally invasive procedures continue to replace open surgery in many general surgery applications, delivery systems are being asked to do more than ever before. Rapid advancements in endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques are expanding what clinicians can treat through smaller access points, longer instrument paths […]

How Radiopaque Polymer Formulations for Medical Devices Enhance Imaging Technology

Custom blending of radiopaque fillers can increase the opacity of catheters and other devices, making them clearly visible under fluoroscopy and x-rays without sacrificing much of the physical properties of the polymers. Radiopaque formulations incorporated into medical device components enable surgeons to view positioning and placement live during the procedure. Proper visualization is key to […]

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 […]

Streamline Medical Device Design By Engaging Early With a Biomaterials Expert

Medical device design starts at raw material selection. However, medical device and delivery system manufacturers often need foundational guidance about medical device textiles and polymers — how they’re made, how they function inside a device, and how to choose the right materials based on application. Different considerations often apply to raw material selection, prototyping, and […]
