Extrusion Device Spotlight
Advanced Medical Device Proficiency
Viant’s complex medical device expertise enables manufacturing of components for, and assembly of, a spectrum of devices across diverse markets.
Cardiac Devices
Cardiac electrophysiology catheters are used to evaluate the heart’s electrical and diagnose abnormal heart rhythms. These devices require re-flow extrusion over nitinol, a complex process essential to optimizing device performance.
Coronary and Peripheral Devices
Coronary and peripheral devices like balloon catheters are used to open blockages in vessels. Precise bonding of the balloon to the catheter tubing is crucial during manufacturing.
Neurovascular Devices
Neurovascular catheters are essential for minimally invasive treatments of brain and spinal cord conditions, offering patients quicker recovery times and reduced risks. Material versatility enables peak design while meeting stringent quality standards.
Steerable Devices
Steerable devices orchestrate control during procedures, allowing for better navigation through complex anatomies and enhancing patient outcomes. Intricate secondary operations are vital to the production of these devices.
Robotic Surgery Devices
Robotic surgery devices improve precision during minimally invasive procedures, resulting in shorter hospital stays, reduced pain and faster recovery times. Design expertise enables the creation of highly customized components.
Bioelectronic Devices
Bioelectronic devices integrate biology and electronics to treat chronic diseases and improve patient outcomes through targeted therapies. Complex structures formed through extrusion promote elevated patient comfort.
