Advancing Catheter Innovation and Design
This May, Medical Component Specialists (MCS) is proud to support and participate in The Catheter R&D Masterclass, hosted by Eyedea Medtech at their Prototyping/Education Facility in Westport, Mayo, Ireland. Scheduled for May 28th and 29th, this exclusive program brings together senior engineers and industry leaders for a highly technical, hands-on exploration of catheter-based medical device development.
A Deep Dive into Catheter Systems
The Catheter Systems Lab is designed for experienced professionals operating at the forefront of device development. Over two dynamic days, attendees will engage in advanced technical modules, system-level analysis, and practical prototyping. Highlights of the masterclass include:
- Core Architecture & Materials Science: In-depth sessions covering current catheter technologies, liner and mandrel material selection, and structural reinforcement technologies.
- Hands-On Prototyping: Guided construction of catheter systems, applying real-world principles of lamination, braiding, coiling, and outer polymer systems alongside real-time troubleshooting.
- Strategic Industry Insights: Dedicated technical discussions designed to capture critical feedback, identify process limitations, and uncover unmet needs and opportunities for future material innovation.
