Chamfr Blog: Technical Insights for Medical Device R&D Engineers

Speed up early-stage catheter development with ICS Medical Devices’ off-the-shelf steerable shafts, available now on Chamfr. Designed for large-diameter applications like structural heart, these 16F and 18F shafts help R&D teams iterate faster, cut costs, and bridge the gap between concept and final design — no custom order needed.

Choosing the right PTFE liner is critical to catheter design success. Discover how you can boost yield and build more reliable devices with PTFE liners, impacting adhesion, mandrel fit, and mechanical performance, in our latest technical blog from Junkosha.

Explore Chamfr’s newest additions from Strand Products: precision-engineered beaded wire and stand systems that eliminate the need for secondary terminals. From stainless steel to nitinol and tungsten, these in-stock components offer flexible, secure solutions for advanced medical prototypes.

Every decision in early-stage medical device development impacts cost, speed, and design flexibility. With in-house injection molding equipment now available on Chamfr, R&D teams can take control of prototyping workflows, test more material and geometry combinations, and move faster toward manufacturable solutions.

Now available on Chamfr, PAI’s FDA- and USP VI–compliant O-rings make it easier to source reliable sealing components for medical devices, pharmaceutical applications, and bioprocessing. With 500+ in-stock and quick-turn SKUs, engineering teams can move faster from prototype to production while maintaining the performance and traceability their builds demand.
