Curious to know how Optinova Braided Shafts can improve your design?
Highly Customizable braid design
Ability to meet different levels of torquability, pushability, kink resistance, flexibility and burst strength by customizing braid design and resin
Consistent Quality
Spark test and tensile test executed on every batch to ensure highest level of quality. Ability to design tests to meet product quality expectations
Atraumatic Tip Assembly
Choose between overlap or butt welding of non-braided tips with various durometer materials. Overlap bonding enhances bond strength
Centerless grinding of OD
Keeps OD tolerance tight and the smooth surface enhances physician and patient experience. Combined with tip assembly (when required) for a smooth surface end to end
Applications
- Electrophysiology catheters
- CRM lead replacement catheters
- Endoscopic delivery devices
- Structural heart delivery devices
