Catheter Lamination
Development of complex catheter-based systems and minimally invasive devices combines engineering oversight, manufacturing expertise, and quality systems to support reliable design transfer into production. Through an engineering-led development approach, we help clients establish scalable manufacturing processes while preparing devices for long-term commercial success.
Overview
Advanced catheter lamination combines material science with precision manufacturing to produce catheter shafts that meet demanding mechanical and clinical requirements. Meddux engineers multi-layer catheter construction using carefully selected polymers, reinforcement layers, and jacket materials to create shaft architectures that balance flexibility, support, and torque transmission while maintaining consistent manufacturability.
Our catheter reflow process precisely bonds multiple material layers into a unified catheter shaft without compromising lumen geometry or overall device performance. Tie layers, polymer compatibility, thermal processing, and controlled reflow parameters are optimized to produce durable bonds that withstand demanding clinical applications while maintaining dimensional consistency throughout production.
Engineering teams also focus on shaft stiffness bonding optimization, carefully controlling material transitions along the catheter to deliver predictable flexibility profiles and smooth device navigation. Every lamination program is refined through prototyping and process optimization to ensure reliable manufacturing, repeatable product quality, and consistent performance across commercial production.

Catheter Lamination
Advantages
01
6-Up Vertical Laminator
A 6-up vertical machine, built and maintained in-house, running direct process-parameter control across tie-layer selection, polymer compatibility, and thermal profile from prototype through production.
02
Continuous, Controlled Processing
Continuous, controlled lamination holding tighter part-to-part tolerances than manual hot box processing, with reflow parameters and dimensional consistency controlled throughout the run rather than adjusted shot to shot.
03
Material Compatibility
Handles essentially all common catheter lamination materials in-house, covering the polymer and jacket combinations used across most catheter shaft constructions.
