About ProtoBrix
A Smarter Way to Test Medical Delivery Systems
ProtoBrix is a modular, off-the-shelf platform designed for medical implant delivery system testing. Built for R&D engineers, medtech startups, and innovators in minimally invasive interventions, it offers a smart alternative to long and expensive custom builds.
With ProtoBrix, you can assemble your own delivery system testing kit using universal components including catheter tubing, steerable catheter actuator handles, nose cones, and implant connectors to quickly validate your approach.
Whether you’re working on structural heart delivery systems, transcatheter devices, or implant testing scenarios, ProtoBrix helps you simulate catheter navigation, test mechanical actions, and confirm feasibility all before committing to custom device development.
Why ProtoBrix Exists
It started with a challenge. At Protomed, we designed an actuator handle almost as a prototype for prototyping to support early validation of implant delivery systems. It was well received. But soon, engineers asked: Where are the rest of the components?
They needed more than a handle they needed the full system.
So we created ProtoBrix: a universal medical device testing platform made of modular components for catheter delivery system prototyping. It’s engineered to give teams the ability to test medical implant delivery without custom development, saving both time and cost.
From steerable catheters to nose cone testing components, each element is designed to help you move faster through early validation stages and toward full development with clarity and confidence.
Backed by Protomed
ProtoBrix is developed and manufactured by Protomed, a medtech design firm based in Strasbourg, France, with over 20 years of experience in minimally invasive medical device prototyping.
Our mission: enable innovation in healthcare by making device testing accessible.
At Protomed, we support the full journey of interventional device development from concept to regulatory certification through high-quality design, prototyping, and testing services. We are ISO 13485 certified and trusted by leading companies across Europe, the US, and Asia.
ProtoBrix is more than a toolkit.
It reflects our belief that great medical ideas shouldn’t be slowed down by technical barriers.
That’s why we’ve built a platform where medical device prototyping tools, implant connection systems, and catheter delivery components are all ready to go, no custom dev required.
ProtoBrix is ideal for:
• Engineers validating transcatheter implant systems
• Startups building MVPs and POCs for investors
• Clinical teams testing catheter navigation and delivery
• Companies seeking rapid medical prototyping with real, usable parts
"With ProtoBrix, you get access to interventional catheter components, medical actuator handles, and expert support from real engineers. And every kit is made and tested in our Strasbourg lab: fast, reliable, and engineer-approved."
