It’s the final week of materials month, and we want to end it with a bang!
We sat down with our team of chemists and engineers to talk about something that continues to be an obstacle for established medical device companies and startups alike—material changes.
Lately, braided and coiled (also known as braid and coil reinforced) shafts have been a trending topic in the world of medical devices. With the growing popularity of complex minimally invasive surgeries and the rising demands of procedural requirements, the need for shafts with tighter tolerances and improved characteristics has increased drastically. So, this week, we interviewed our experts at Biomerics Advanced Catheter to learn more about braided and coiled shafts and the capabilities Biomerics has to support companies in this innovative field.
Micro-catheters are commonly found throughout the medical device and healthcare industries. With companies trying to develop and market products that meet the demanding needs of physicians and healthcare providers around the world, having the ability to efficiently design and manufacture an advanced device—such as a micro-catheter—is crucial to success. For this reason, we wanted to take this week to talk about the innovative field of micro-catheters and what companies should look for when selecting a micro-catheter supplier.
