Interventional Technologies

The Market 

The market for interventional technologies continues to focus on minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for interventional cardiology to diagnose and treat heart disease.

Needs & Challenges

Many leading edge interventional cardiovascular technologies require overmolding or insert molding—molding plastic over plastic or molding plastic over a preformed part, such as a metal insert.

Overmolded Suturing Device

The assembly device and mating overmolded tube were components of an endoscopic suturing device, featuring a spring OD of 0.11″ (0.28mm) and Ultem wall thickness is 0.012″ (0.30mm).

Strain Relief Device

This catheter ablation tip is molded Glass Filled LCP, featuring an extremely long flow length and minimum wall thickness of 0.004″ (0.10 mm).
