Nitinol shape setting allows medical device manufacturers to bring highly complex components to life for applications such as heart valve frames, stents, and delivery systems. Our engineers understand the material properties of nitinol and work with our in-house precision tooling center to make fixtures to produce even the most complex nitinol shapes. We also develop and manufacture our own automated electropolishing equipment that allows us to maintain tight control of the processing parameters and have a stable and repeatable process.
Dedicated engineers and equipment to help you quickly prototype innovative medical devices.
Advanced manufacturing technologies, purpose-built equipment, and vertically integrated capabilities.
Technology to collect critical data and power implantable medical devices.
Focused solutions for medtech and life sciences.
