Highlights from our cardiology portfolio
Sheath Tubing for Catheter Applications
Precise, reliable catheter tubing is crucial for cardiac balloon catheters—from the shaft to the balloon connection. We develop and manufacture (micro-)extruded tubing solutions for demanding applications, such as shaft tubing for balloon catheters, which are designed for defined stiffness profiles, high kink resistance, and exact tolerances. Depending on the requirements, we implement single- or multi-lumen designs, tailored material concepts, and functional additives (e.g., radiopaque or friction-reducing properties). Safe and process-stable tubing solutions that support reliable performance in clinical use.
Specialized Tubing
Specialty tubing used in cardiology is designed to safely deliver fluids, contrast agents, and irrigation solutions during diagnostic and interventional procedures. Depending on the application, these tubes are either pressure-resistant or flexible, enabling a reliable connection between catheters, injectors, and infusion systems. This ensures precise flow control and a safe and efficient treatment process.
Custom Products
In addition to standard applications, we also develop and manufacture custom medical devices tailored to very specific requirements. Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and strict quality controls, we create innovative solutions that meet the highest safety and hygiene standards—ensuring reliable and efficient medical care.

Ready to Start Your Project - Create Your Cardiology Kit - Medical Tubing and Injection-Molded Parts for Cardiology
Open-heart and closed-heart surgeries are part of cardiac surgery and are often a matter of life and death for patients. As a reliable partner, manufacturer, and supplier, we therefore develop certified tubing and injection-molded systems with an absolute zero-tolerance policy regarding hygiene, performance, or design defects. In short, we understand the specific requirements placed on these medical components. These are typically single-use products that are disposed of after each procedure to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and ensure compliance with the highest hygiene standards.
