LightningCath⚡celebrated its 2nd Birthday Day! 🎉 We couldn't be more excited to celebrate this milestone with all of our employees. Thank you to Hia Lor at Yu Fong for catering our birthday lunch. LightningCath is extremely grateful for all those who have supported us the last 2 years and we can't wait to see what we can accomplish next! #2years #employees #growth #medicaldevice #medicalalley #catheters #lightningcath

Cardiac catheterization can diagnose conditions such as clogged arteries, irregular heartbeats, coronary artery disease, valve disease, or disease of the aorta. It can also treat heart flaws or replace heart valves without major surgery. There are two main types of cardiac catheterization, left and right, depending on which side of the heart the doctor enters. The procedure is usually performed at a hospital; most people will also need blood tests and an EKG beforehand.

The materials utilized in catheter-based components must possess the capability to endure the demanding conditions of medical utilization. The selection of metal is contingent on variables such as the catheter's operating environment, type, applied force, and pressure. Stainless steel, titanium, and nylon are preferred for their robustness and longevity. Stainless steel is suitable for medical applications because of its corrosion resistance, relatively lightweight, and strength. Titanium, surpassing stainless steel in strength, is utilized in components necessitating exceptional robustness and durability. Nylon, valued for its lightweight nature and strength, is frequently deployed in flexible and lightweight catheter components. Our catheter components involve many metal processing capabilities: ☑ Bonding ☑ Forming & Bending ☑ Laser Ablation ☑ Laser Cutting ☑ Laser Welding ☑ Machining ☑ Soldering Contact Us Today for a Quote! https://lnkd.in/gf3-9ZKF #medicaldevice #catheter #machining #bonding #forming #bending #contactus

No shortage of FEP Resin around here and we are extruding/expanding daily! Contact us for our list of in-stock FEP HS and a custom quote! https://lnkd.in/gf3-9ZKF Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) resin is a copolymer of TFE and HFP that is melt-processable and has many properties that make it useful in medical device applications - chemical resistance, biocompatibility, thermal stability, dielectric strength, sterilizable, low coefficient of friction, and more. #medicaldevice #resin #catheter #FEP #contactus

Last week, Matt Osten, the Co-founder of LightningCath, participated in a panel discussion on extrusions at MPP MN. It's always a great opportunity to network and gain insights from industry experts. Thanks to US Extruders, Steve Maxson, and the team for organizing a great event! Looking forward to the next one!

During the Extrusion panel, the significance of training in retaining extrusion talent was underscored by Charles Tang. This training is crucial for handling complex medical extrusions effectively.

FEP HEAT SHRINK TUBING is widely applied across diverse industries, including medical, aerospace, electrical, chemical, and optical. Its selection is predominantly based on the following: ▪ Lower shrink temperature: FEP exhibits a shrink temperature of 212°F (100°C), significantly lower than other heat shrink tubing such as PTFE, which requires a minimum shrink temperature of 617°F (325°C). ▪ Optical clarity: FEP's exceptional transparency aligns well with medical applications that necessitate visual inspection of jacketed components. ▪ Flexibility: FEP surpasses other heat-shrink tubing in terms of flexibility. ▪ Heat resistance: FEP's suitability for reflow catheter layups and similar applications, wherein sterilization and heat resistance assume critical importance, is noteworthy. FEP heat shrink tubing can efficiently operate at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) and is available in diverse sizes and specifications. ⚡ LIGHTNINGCATH OFFERS FAST LEAD TIMES!

Catheter delivery systems are commonly used in minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular systems. They are used to deliver drugs, cells, and genes to treat various conditions. ▪ Drug delivery: Catheter-integrated systems can deliver drugs to specific body areas, such as the bladder or vessel walls. For example, a catheter with a silicone-based balloon can continuously release Mitomycin C, an adjuvant for bladder cancer, into the urinary bladder. Balloon catheter systems can also consistently deliver drugs to vessel walls, regardless of the balloon's length. ▪ Cell and gene therapies: Among the innovative applications of catheter systems is the delivery of cell and gene therapies to address heart conditions. ⚡ LightningCath offers: ▪ Deliver with ease ▪ Handle designs ▪ Guide catheters ▪ Dilators, guidewires & introducers #deliverysystems #balooncatheters #guidwires #minimallyinvasive #cardiovascular #TAVR
