Catheter and Endoscopic Solutions

Q: What are catheters and endoscopic devices?

Catheters are thin, flexible tubes used for diagnostic, therapeutic, and support purposes. Endoscopic devices are longer flexible instruments with a camera and light that allow doctors to view inside the body without major surgery.

Q: What kind of components are made with cardiac catheter and endoscopic device manufacturing?

Typical components include snares, biopsy tools, dilators, and forceps.

Q: What are the diagnostic, treatment, and support functions of catheters and endoscopic solutions?

Catheters can measure pressures, drain fluids, deliver medications or contrast agents, enable minimally invasive procedures, and maintain vascular access. Endoscopic devices are used to visualize internal organs, guide device placement, take biopsies or remove obstructions, perform minimally invasive surgeries and monitoring, and control bleeding or repair tissues.

Catheter and endoscopic solutions are used across medical sectors for critical operations. From cardiovascular uses to endoscopy, gastroenterology, neurology, urology, and gynecology, as well as pulmonary and ENT procedures, endoscopic device and cardiac catheter manufacturing provides capabilities to produce components, including but not limited to the following:

Diagnostic and interventional procedures
Angioplasty and stent delivery
Retrieval, biopsy, drainage, and dilation
Microcatheters for neurovascular interventions
Access and visualization devices
Bronchoscopy and airway management

Materials and Manufacturing Expertise for Catheter and Endoscopic Solutions

By understanding the unique properties of biocompatible materials, our processes can be applied to a wide range of materials to provide flexibility, strength, and visibility in minimally invasive devices. Each material serves a unique role in achieving performance and precision, including the use of plastics, stainless steels, and tungsten for specific components:

Plastics

Plastics form the main structure of catheters and endoscopic devices
Includes PVC, polyurethane, polyimide, and silicone options
Advanced polymers, such as Pebax®, PTFE, and FEP, are used in outer jackets and linings
Hydrophilic polymer coatings reduce friction and improve patient comfort

Stainless Steel

Adds strength, rigidity, and torque control in steerable or reinforced catheters
Medical-grade 304V, 316, and 316L are favored for corrosion resistance and biocompatibility
Braids and coils made from stainless steel enhance flexibility and kink resistance
Precision hypotubes and guidewires ensure accurate movement and placement

Tungsten

Tungsten provides radiopacity for visibility during fluoroscopy or X-ray-guided procedures
Used in marker bands and as a polymer filler to make catheter tips visible in imaging
Serves as a cost-effective alternative to gold or platinum markers
May also function as reinforcement wire for strength and visibility

Commonly Asked Questions about Catheters and Endoscopic Solutions

What are catheters and endoscopic devices?

Catheters are thin, flexible tubes inserted into the body for diagnostic, therapeutic, and support purposes, while endoscopic devices are instruments used in endoscopies. Endoscopic devices are also flexible tubes, but they are longer and include a camera and a light at the tip so that doctors can view inside the body without major surgery.

What kind of components are made with cardiac catheter and endoscopic device manufacturing?

Many components can be produced using endoscopic device and cardiac catheter manufacturing operations. Some components we specialize in at Primo Medical Group include:

Snares
Biopsy tools
Dilators
Forceps

What are the diagnostic, treatment, and support functions of catheters and endoscopic solutions?

Catheters can:

Measure blood pressure inside the heart or vessels
Collect or drain bodily fluids
Deliver medications, nutrients, or contrast agents
Perform minimally invasive procedures
Maintain access to veins and support organ functions

While endoscopic devices are used for:

Visualizing internal organs and guiding the placement of stents or catheters
Taking biopsies and tissue samples, or removing tumors, stones, and foreign objects
Performing minimally invasive surgeries and assisting in monitoring healing
Controlling bleeding or repairing tissues
