Custom Catheter Design & Manufacturing
Product Description
We provide custom catheter design and manufacturing solutions for medical device companies, distributors, and R&D teams developing products for neurovascular, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and other minimally invasive procedures.
From concept review and prototype sampling to process optimization and batch production, Mekon supports customers in turning drawings, samples, specifications, or early design ideas into manufacturable catheter solutions.
Customized catheter solutions can be developed according to project requirements for dimensions, materials, shaft structure, flexibility, pushability, trackability, torque response, kink resistance, radiopacity, coating performance, distal tip design, and assembly configuration.
