Oncology Device Development Capabilities
We support medical device startups and established OEMs across the entire development lifecycle, bridging the gap between innovative clinical ideas and repeatable, scalable production.
Concept Development & Feasibility
We evaluate your clinical requirements and convert early-stage concepts into engineered, feasible devices. By conducting early risk assessments and concept development, we help you validate core mechanical and functional assumptions before committing to an expensive final design.
Catheter & Delivery System Design
Our engineers have experience in multi-lumen catheter design, shaft construction, and delivery system integration. We balance the complex physical trade-offs required for interventional oncology tools, ensuring your device meets the demanding dimensional and structural requirements.
Mechanical Design & Material Selection
Minimally invasive oncology devices require precise material performance. We evaluate and select biocompatible polymers, nitinol structures, braided shafts, and specialized coatings to achieve the ideal balance of column strength, kink resistance, and biocompatibility.
Steerable Catheter & Distal-Tip Design
Navigating tortuous vascular and tissue pathways requires control. We design custom steering mechanisms, pull-wire assemblies, and articulating distal tips that provide physicians with predictable torque response, tactile feedback, and precise positioning.
Advanced Prototyping & Iterative Refinement
Utilizing our prototyping lab—equipped with precision lathes, catheter braiders, laser welders, and laminators—we fabricate functional prototypes in-house, dramatically shortening your iteration-test cycles.
Bench Testing, Verification & Validation (V&V) Support
We design and execute custom bench testing to evaluate trackability, pushability, burst pressure, pull strength, and joint integrity. Our team ensures that all design outputs strictly map back to design inputs under ISO 13485 design controls.
Controlled Builds & Low-Volume Manufacturing Support
We conduct pilot builds and low-volume production within our certified ISO Class 7 and Class 8 cleanrooms, ensuring full lot traceability, validated assembly processes, and inspection-ready devices for preclinical and GLP studies.
