In catheter development and manufacturing, inconsistent heat shrink removal can increase operator dependence, scrap, rework, and risk to delicate assemblies. In this sponsored technical blog post, Junkosha explains how FEP based peelable heat shrink tubing, engineered for controlled linear peelability, helps R&D and manufacturing teams support more repeatable bonding, forming, and lamination processes from development through scaled production.

Polymer selection shapes far more than a medical device’s baseline specs. In this episode, Saint-Gobain breaks down how stiffness, toughness, bonding, temperature, chemical exposure, and sterilization all influence catheter and…

Your prototype works, but is it ready to scale? In this webinar, Jacob Gibb from Intuitive Surgical breaks down how to accelerate MedTech scale-up by optimizing OEM-CDMO collaboration and bridging…

A MedTech conference built for deeper insight, meaningful connections, and the ideas shaping what’s next in medical device development and manufacturing. More info to come soon on the next one […]

In this Chamfr Unboxed video, take a closer look at medical-grade o-rings and seals from Precision Associates, including metal-detectable nitrile, clear USP Class VI silicone, Viton, and Buna options. Explore…

Lubrizol is now on Chamfr with medical-grade silicone tubing, sheeting, and films for MedTech R&D teams. Source small quantities, compare standard sizes, and reduce friction for early testing, prototyping, design verification preparation, and supplier down-selection.

Heat shrink behavior can affect final device performance and assembly. In this sponsored technical blog post and full guide, Cobalt Polymers shares key considerations and use cases for selecting a material, shrink ratio, and wall thickness, including where Pebax® and Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing fit in medical device design.

Brain aneurysm treatment still involves real tradeoffs around complexity, device selection, and long-term occlusion. In this episode, explore the LuSeed DOME™, designed to simplify intrasaccular treatment, support faster and more…

Post-manufacturing is often where speed-to-market plans start to slow down. In this episode, Donald Inglis of Millstone Medical explains why sterile packaging, validation, lab testing, and release strategy need to…

PTFE remains a foundational catheter liner material, but material selection is becoming more complex. Explore why MedTech R&D teams are evaluating PTFE through a broader lens across performance, supply chain resilience, sterilization, and regulatory planning.

Learn how to use standard components to test fit, function, and manufacturability earlier—so you can reduce redesign risk and make better decisions before investing in custom solutions.

Prototype, test, and validate device designs using biologically derived tissues and extracellular matrix materials to prepare for clinical stages. Now available on Chamfr, Evergen offers ready-to-ship, off-the-shelf biomaterials to help you move from concept to validation faster.
