Speed Up Catheter Prototyping: MIS Off-the-Shelf and Quick-Turn Components Now on Chamfr
Build catheter systems faster with off-the-shelf and quick-turn components engineered for early-stage speed and compatibility.
Midwest Interventional Systems (MIS) now offers more than 350 components on Chamfr, giving medical device engineers the end-to-end support needed to quickly prototype interventional catheter systems. From steerable handles and shafts to balloons, extrusions, and tipped dilator tubing, MIS’s portfolio is designed for fast iteration, functional integration, and simplified sourcing.
With components designed to work together and meet industry-standard sizes, engineers can focus on prototyping without the long lead times.
Built for Early-Stage Interventional Development
Prototyping in the interventional space demands flexibility, precision, and speed. MIS’ portfolio enables R&D engineers to meet these needs with:
- Ready-to-ship and quick-turn options
- Flexibility to mix and match components
- Clinically relevant sizing
Whether you’re developing steerable catheters or access systems, quickly move from concept to prototype with these latest additions.Â
A Complete Suite of Catheter Components
With over 350 components now available (and more to come soon), R&D engineers get tailored, end-to-end support, from access to control.
Steerable Shafts
Quickly evaluate steerable performance with quick-turn shafts that support both unidirectional and bidirectional control, seamlessly integrating with MIS steerable handles.
For even more options, steerable assemblies are also available, simplifying sourcing and accelerating complete catheter builds.
