In this episode of MedTech Unboxed, I sit down with Ron Roth from Roth Technologies to explore the groundbreaking impact of CathCAD, a proprietary software revolutionizing catheter design. Since its launch in 2012, CathCAD has grown to over 300 licensed users, including major medical device companies, thanks to its ability to predict catheter performance using analytical formulas. Ron walks us through a live simulation, demonstrating how CathCAD evaluates parameters like tensile strength and flexibility, and compares different materials such as PTFE and PEBAX. We also delve into the future potential of modeling laser-cut hypo tubes. Ron shares insights on how CathCAD is setting new standards in the medical device industry, offering a tool that simplifies design processes and enhances precision. Tune in to discover how advanced software is reshaping the future of catheter design.
