Catheter designer — construction & materials
Define the clinical use, anatomical access and mechanical constraints of your catheter. The tool recommends a construction family and candidate materials by segment, based on Protobrix engineering expertise.
Recommended catheter construction
Does this recommendation match your project?
Protobrix turns this orientation into a validated design: final grade selection, comparative testing on your geometry, V&V-ready design dossier, functional prototypes in under 7 days.
All 5 families scored
Scores combine intrinsic properties (fixed per family) and contextual adjustments from your answers. Intrinsic scores shown for 5 key criteria.
| Construction family | Score vs best | Pushability | Torque | Kink R. | Lubricity | Burst | Notes |
|---|
The catheter designer draws on the hands-on experience of Protobrix engineers in intravascular device design and industrialisation: client project feedback, deep knowledge of extrusion and assembly processes, and ongoing technical watch on medical-grade materials from leading polymer and metals suppliers.
Recommendations are design orientations. Exact grades, wall thicknesses, braid PPI and segment lengths must be validated for your specific geometry, process and clinical use conditions.
ISO 10555-1 · intravascular catheters
ISO 10993-1 · biocompatibility
ANSI/AAMI ST · sterilisation
Datasheets: Arkema (Pebax), Lubrizol (Pellethane),
Victrex (PEEK), Chemours (ePTFE/FEP),
Fort Wayne Metals (nitinol)
Design orientation tool
This tool recommends a catheter construction family and candidate materials by segment based on your clinical, anatomical and mechanical inputs.
Outputs are engineering orientations, not certified deliverables. Material grades, wall thicknesses, reinforcement specifications and segment lengths must be validated for your specific geometry, manufacturing process and clinical use through a dedicated Protobrix study.
By proceeding, you acknowledge that these recommendations are indicative starting points intended to support early-stage design discussions.
