As a professional precision interventional medical-device manufacturer, Shanghai Mekon provides customized catheter and component solutions built on deep expertise in precision needles, cannulas, and metal micro-components. The result is high-performance support for three demanding fields, each addressed on its own terms.
A NOTE ON SIZINGCatheter and interventional-device dimensions are commonly expressed in French (Fr), where 3 Fr ≈ 1 mm of outer diameter, while guidewire compatibility is given in inches (e.g., 0.014″, 0.018″, 0.035″). Matching shaft, lumen, and wire across these scales is central to interventional design — and to the micro-tolerances the components below must hold.
Three Application Fields, Three Design Priorities
01 · NeuroUltra-Precision for Delicate Navigation
Neurovascular intervention requires navigation through extremely small, tortuous cerebral vessels while staying stable and safe.
- Micro-scale dimensional tolerances
- High surface smoothness
- Controlled flexibility and torque transmission
- Stable kink resistance
- Micro-structure consistency
02 · CardiovascularStrength, Stability, Endurance
Cardiovascular devices must balance flexibility with structural strength, often under higher pressure and longer procedures.
- Structural integrity under pressure
- Pushability and torque response
- Fatigue resistance
- Mass-production dimensional stability
- Compatibility with complex assemblies
03 · PeripheralVersatility and Custom Engineering
Peripheral interventions span limbs, abdominal vessels, and smaller systemic arteries, demanding greater design flexibility.
- Adaptability to anatomy
- Mechanical durability
- Flexible structural customization
- Cost-effective scale-up
- Interventional-platform compatibility
Integrated Manufacturing Across All Three Fields
Vertical integration gives precise control over every stage, from raw material to final packaging. Core capabilities span precision tube welding and drawing; laser cutting and micro-machining; CNC precision machining and forming; surface treatment, polishing, and passivation; ultrasonic cleaning and contamination control; assembly, inspection, and packaging; and sterilization support.
