Get a modular balloon catheter prototype in as little as 2 weeks. With our ProtoCath™ Online Prototyping Tool, you can select from a full range of modular features to design a complete balloon catheter, delivered at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods. Many standard sizes are available for delivery in as little as 2 weeks.
Our ProtoCath™ tool accelerates the R&D process and speeds initial evaluation of prototypes for proof of concept. There's no need to invest in custom balloons and extrusions in the early stages of your project, and you can order as few as 3 catheters per design.
Design Your Own Balloon Catheter
Our semicustom option gives you flexibility and saves time and cost. Start by selecting from a wide range of stock balloons and work with our design team to add only the custom features you need. Or start with the prototype you designed using our ProtoCath™ tool and make further custom modifications.
Custom Balloon Catheters
Build a fully custom balloon catheter from scratch. We can partner with you to design, develop, and test a custom balloon catheter built to your specifications. Send us your design or contact us at 00.353.91.764.624 to work with our engineering experts to develop one.
