Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular components for surgical devices are complex. IncisionTech has been the supplier of choice for incision components used in the cardiovascular market for many years. Our breadth of experience in this market allows us to work closely with medical device OEMs in a way that fully enables innovative and highly specialized cardiovascular solutions.
- IncisionTech acts as a trusted OEM partner in developing, manufacturing and assembling numerous cutting and piercing components and assemblies used in the following areas:
- Cardiac surgery
- Interventional cardiology, neurology and neuro stimulation
- Peripheral vascular
- Cardiology and radiology
- Cardiac rhythm management (CRM)
- Some of the more common Cardiovascular procedures requiring critical incision components are:
- Coronary artery bypass (on and off-pump)
- Valve repair and replacement
- Congenital cardiac repairs
- Minimally-invasive robotic-assisted heart surgery
- Surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation
- Surgical ventricular remodeling
- Catheter ablation and pulmonary vein ablation
- Cardiac transplantation
These cardiovascular procedures demand components with the highest precision and reliability. These products are often manufactured from the most specialized metals, such as Nitinol. Our customers come to us looking for the knowledgebase we have surrounding incision technology and find our “Center of Excellence” for incision applications to be compelling and a cornerstone of future partnerships.
Cardiovascular Precision Component Production
Cardiovascular devices demand some of the toughest tolerance requirements and smallest design windows. This combination can be a recipe for disaster. However, partnering with the leading medical device OEMs has helped us more fully understand the design needs of the surgical device designer and the manufacturing processes requirement to produce precision components on a production basis. From tissue cutters to aortic punches and from trocars to bipolar cutting forceps and endoscopic scissors, all incision components are manufactured to customer-supplied specifications, which are protected by our strict employee code of confidentiality.
From concept through commercialization, the following services enable designers to innovate, iterate, and create with the speed required to bring a new device to the market ahead of the competition.
