Chamfr Resource Hub

This new wire offering on Chamfr will include insulated and bare conductors in a range of materials including copper, constantan and nickel chromium.

Today, we’re excited to share that we’re expanding our polymer tubing offering with the addition of Tekni-Plex Medical!

It’s now possible to create a thinner, higher performance medical device using a laser-cut hypotube. What’s even more exciting is that a laser-cut hypotube and a single jacket of Pebax heat shrink tubing used together help streamline the process.

You can now access precision cutting tools for your catheter innovations! SYNEO punch kits allow you to create the perfect round holes for your catheter.

As an engineer who’s worked on many medical devices, I’m still learning each and every day. There’s so many resources, components and technologies used in device development. It’s one of the many reasons I’m still so passionate and excited about this industry after 15 years on the job.

We’re expanding our mandrel offering with the addition of Applied Plastics’ PTFE coated mandrels. Now with ~ 400 mandrels to choose from we have the largest online offering of mandrels for your medical device development projects.

Over the last few months everyone’s been talking about Covid-19 and what potential changes it will bring to our industry. With so many unknowns and uncertainties, it’s a good time to pause and reflect.

Recently, I came across 17-7 SS as an alternate solution, and was surprised by some of the material properties that allowed us to optimize the product design. Compared to 304 SS, 17-7 has a higher tensile strength, improved machinability, weldability and magnetic permeability.

Lumenous has joined the Chamfr community, bringing its lasercut hypotubes to our marketplace. This addition expands our lasercut hypotube offering and marks the first time that their components are available in-stock and available to ship in 24 hours.

We’re pumped to announce that Forécreu has joined Chamfr. Not only are we bringing you another seller but a new product – cannulated bars. The addition of Forécreu’s cannulated bars helps us further serve those of you in the surgical and orthopedic spaces.

Where do you go for custom components? Most of us leverage one of the many medical device directories to find a company that might have the right capabilities, we ask around, or we already have a preferred partner and pick up the phone and call them.
